19. I was a poll worker that day.

Nov 2020

Up at 3:30 AM, at the polling site by 5 AM to set up (polls opened at 6 am, closed at 9 pm) and did not get back home until after 10:30 PM, having delivered our district's polling suitcase to a Board of Elections drop-off point at my area's City Hall.

I shut off DU for that time and did not come back on until just now.

I went straight to bed without watching any TV and slept for nearly 9 hours straight. And I still feel a little fried.

Today, my neck of the woods is having a Protect The Results rally in the afternoon, but I don't know if I'll go. I'm in my 60s, and it's a matter of the spirit being willing but the flesh being weak.

Hang on and keep faith, people. Game's not over by a long shot.

AND, if Trump spouts off again about the elections, just tell him:
"FUCK YOU - KEEP COUNTING"
