online, pay bills if I have any, drive to town if I have anything I need to pick up, do whatever repairs I have to do around the...

How far do you want me to go with this?

I dont imagine my routine will change measurably if Bernie loses. I'm older than he is and I won't be around to see the long term impacts of a Clinton or Bush presidency. I do have kids, grandkids and great grandkids and I will do what I can to help them but at some point I won't be around to do anymore so they'll be on their own.

But hey, maybe it will be some consolation to somebody if the historians note that a few years before the United States finally went down the shitter, we elected a female president.
