Back from the polls - I did my part to strike a blow against that insidious democracy by using it against itself and voting. Bet they never saw that coming when they set up this silly system to allow folks to have a say in who wrecks their nation!
Grace was 3rd to the poll, and I was 4th. Vote early, and vote often!
We had to run the gauntlet, and tell all the electioneers that we lived out in the county, so their town candidates weren't even on our ballot. We had ONE race to vote on, but that was enough, I reckon. I researched the "other" candidate, and determined she is a flaming communist. I never thought I'd see the day that a communist ran against a human for office here, but there it is. She talked an awful lot about ushering in a "just transition" to our little patch of paradise, but never got around to mentioning what she wanted us to "transition" TO. I figure that if they can't plainly tell you where they want to head, if they feel a need to obscure that destination, then they must figure it's someplace none of us want to go, and that can't be a good thing...
So I voted against her about as much as I voted FOR the other guy. Sometimes, it's as important to hear what someone ISN'T saying as it is to hear what they ARE saying.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
