I'm thinking about adding a disposable rain poncho. I don't care if it's 100° I want to be covered. I'm even considering an umbrella like the queen of England uses, the birdcage umbrella. You can use it like a shield over your face and still see where you're going.

To vote by mail in NC you have to be able to print out an application for a ballot, mail the application in and wait. I don't have a way to do that right now and I'm pretty sure that there are several NC voters in the same boat.

Ordinarily, I like the experience of standing in line with my fellow citizens. That was pre covid. It's time for contingency plans.
