On Tuesday I tried twice to vote early, but both times there was nowhere to park within a reasonable distance, so I passed.

Yesterday I got up super early and drove over to the little county library near me and found a place to park where I only had to walk a quarter mile to get there. And then stand in line for an hour. Zut alors. But it’s all good. I will say the people working there had their act together and things moved right along.

Well, I did my civic duty. ☑️ Go, me!

Today we toast the wonderful actor John Candy (1950-1994) on his birthday. Let’s all do the Mess Around in his memory:

In an ironic twist, Harry Houdini died on this day in 1926 from peritonitis (swelling of the abdomen), possibly related to appendicitis and possibly related to punches to his abdomen he had received about a week and a half earlier.

The world is more than we know.

And, oh hey, the Christmas cactus has buds!

Have a good day! Happy Reformation Day! Vote early if you can! And…
