PSA for those who are voting next week:

[thanate]

Please look at what is going to be on your ballot ahead of time, if you haven't already done so. (MD sends out nice little sample ballot packets to registered voters, VA makes you look it up for yourself.) In any case, besides the presidential election, I've got about seven different sets of people to vote for (or confirm/deny, in the case of the Board of Education), seven statewide ballot questions, and *fifteen* (I kid you not, they are A through O) ballot questions for my county. This is the longest ballot I've ever seen, so yours may not be so bad, but other places will be using the big-election voter turn-out to try to get stuff done, too. You can, of course, always choose not to vote on anything you don't care about or haven't researched, but don't be that person who's reading these things for the first time in the voting booth. Just saying.

This has been my responsible adult moment for the week; now I shall go back to rambling about writing or fabric or babies and things.
