That's not babbling, and it sounds like a perfect fit for this community. Congrats on getting your own home, and I hope you soon manage to put wheels on it!

So the first day of early voting went way better than expected. The other worker turned out to be really nice. The librarian knows a ton about voting and was very helpful. These rural librarians, man, they are kick-***! It was slow (thank God) and the voters who did come in were super nice. We...

uh oh new toy

haha that works thanks!

No you're fine! Very considerate of you to think of that, though. I'm just glad my day reminded you of anything that interests you rather than https://tenor.com/wyvK.gif (dang, how do you do gifs so they show up in the message instead of a URL?)

If you've got something to say that you don't feel fits in this thread, feel free to mention it elsewhere.

I'll settle for no major scandals and no voters made to feel uncomfortable. When it is over, there will be ice cream ;)

That is why it is so important that this election run smoothly with as few glitches as humanly possible.

Definitely county. Even in primary elections. I think (could be wrong) that the laws are set at the state level and administered at the county level. Who can vote in what primary differs a lot state to state, but I think it's always a government office of some kind that keeps a record of what...

The sad thing is that the rules seem **excellent**. I was truly impressed during training with how voter-friendly the system is while also being meticulous about security. In theory this should work brilliantly! Alas it has to be implemented by humans -- specifically, county-government humans. I...

So the infamous Zoom class I took earlier this week was for poll worker for early voting. (There’s a primary election coming up.) A team came out to my little town on Friday to set up the site and we were invited to observe and learn — totally optional, supposedly just to reinforce what we'd...

Could you ask at a dealership just to get an idea of what the options are? Sometimes the humans in those places can be very helpful (other times not, of course).

That is so awesome!! I have been thinking of something similar but I hadn't considered Nicaragua. Most of those "expat" forums seem to be for rich people (at least they are always talking about hiring contractors and maids and real estate lawyers). Nice to know a normal-budget person who has...

Sorry, what was I thinking, I meant the other half --- Nicaragua. The van looks great though.

say more!

So far the "monsoon" down here has consisted of two five-minute rainfalls about a week apart ... on my walk this morning something seemed different, wasn't sure what and then I realized hey, clouds! I don't know if they're the kind that rain but they're sure purty. Southern Arizona summer...

Hoooo! Now thereby hangs a tale I'm sure...

very tempting ideas :LOL:... and there I thought I was being daring by opening up another tab and bitching to you guys about it in realtime. LOL you can tell I got my start before the Internet. It was a weird setup, with most people taking the class in person and a few remote people tapped in by...

Yeah that's not how it works.

LOL venting ... I'm in a four-hour online class and the teacher has already said there's so much material they might not be able to let us have all the breaks ... and we've got one of those overachievers who's got to ask a "question" for every point aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
