Hello darkness my old friend
Yep. We voted. And this because it fits here. Kinda.
Tom,
I'm glad I read through this...I almost deleted it as political based on the first line. In support of your efforts, I have not had a potato in any form since March. This includes my beloved french fries. In those eight months I have consumed just six slices of bread. I've been told that what I'm doing is called intermittent fasting, I just think of it as not eating just because it's "time to eat". Sidecar related content, I have not ridden either of my sidecar rigs out to breakfast during all that time.

Well done Al. I posted that as a joke of course. In real life, for me, the pendulum has swung both ways over the years. And each time I've managed to get down close to what would be a healthy weight for me, I've thought, "I'm going to maintain this weight and not go back up." But of course, given enough more years, I go back up. Oh well. I had an invite from my good friend and riding buddy to go for a ride yesterday but I passed and hung here at home. Not sure I'll get either of my rigs out again until spring. A week ago this past Friday, we got a little over 7 inches of snow. And winds that drifted it. Then it got warm enough that only a few patches remain.

I am so glad to hear you are taking this loss like a Man.
Dave, "I've come to talk with you again." Simon and Garfunkel were one of my favorite duos and that was one of my favorite tunes.
I not only voted on Tuesday, but I stayed at the polling place for 16 hours, having my lunch and dinner meals delivered to me. I was chairperson for our precinct's election workers. I thought it would be a slow day because so many people had voted in advance by absentee ballot or had gone to the courthouse to vote before election day. WRONG! We did have a lull in voting during mid-afternoon and again just before the polls closed. We had more curb-side voters than in the past 10 years, had many election-day registrations, and had to turn a few people away because they came to the wrong precinct to vote. Those people could have voted a provisional ballot, but those would not have been counted because the people were not residents of the precinct.
A class of local high school Government Class students came and I gave them a little briefing on how the polls are operated and of the duties of the precinct election workers.
Don, Thanks for helping us express our opinions by voting!

It seems like we will have a new president.
