Police scanner will be part of the 'watch' on Tuesday night. That and streaming Netflix or Prime or Hulu.

Just heard a dispatch for a disturbance at a local grocery store gas pumps where Trump supporters were trying to prevent people from buying gas.
This was my plan for 2020, and I plan to follow suite in 2024.

Police scanner will not be included this year, simply because all the local agencies have encrypted their radios. Have my play list for Netflix ready.

I know that early returns are going to be skewed red simply because rural counties are able to count their ballots quicker than metropolitan areas, which are typically bluer, and there is not a single talking head blathering on, so there is no dead air time.

Hope to watch a movie after news/dinner. Vote today, mail tomorrow. Still researching, hampered by hand surgeries a few days ago, healing ongoing. Will 2+ hour hike in a few minutes, good for the mind.

Nov. 5, election coverage probably in P&N and OTA ABC. No expectations but hoping for unexpectedly blue wave across the country.

Isn't it a little late to mail your ballot? Mine took a week to arrive at the county clerk.
Drop it off in person.

Doing a favor for my neighbor. They want to hit some scenic spots around the island to take pictures of their son in his cap, gown, island style rubber slippers (flipflops) and of course, a load of leis draped over his shoulders. He's headed for pre-med schooling in town. Post processing those pics, prints and digital files sent via pedestrial locomotion 20 ft. away next door.

Out 'da door I go. Aloha.

New cats need to be introduced in a small space / room first. So they can feel comfortable with having a "nest", then they can build up the bravery to venture forth.
Not every cat personality will need that. But many do.

I have five confirmed guests coming over. Picked up some Brooklyn Lager, an Oktoberfest, and some Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout. Will have sour cream and onion dip with kettle chips, and I will also make the same hummus I had in my food business with everything bagel chips. Plus we'll get a pizza. We plan on celebrating together!

Only putting on CNN or Fox after it's called for Kamala, otherwise sticking to MSNBC.

Voted last Wednesday and headed to Cancun on the 5th with the kiddos. NJ teachers week getaway. Does any other state have this craziness?

As long as it's postmarked by Tuesday it will be counted.
Depends on your state. In Colorado the deadline to mail was six days ago.
I imagine in a blue state it won't matter/delay much. I'm in a swing state, and I want my vote counted immediately.
Iowa may become a swing state. You never know!

I'm trying to quit drinking, otherwise I'd get fucking blotto that night. And it's not to "celebrate", it would be out of fucking anxiety and a wish to just have this be done with either way.
One thing I won't be doing is following along, though unfortunately I don't know if I'll be able to sleep whether I know or don't.

I'll be voting in person that day.

Was called by friend in N. Calif. this afternoon. Tells me his mom in hospice in NJ has been pleading with her other 2 sons (in NJ) for her ballot for weeks but it hasn't been forthcoming. Said sons are Trumpers and SOBs. Won't communicate with my friend, their brother. He gets along with his mom (who would vote for Kamala) OK.

In many states, as long as the ballot is postmarked by 11/5 is accepted.

Anyway, as for us just another Tuesday night...except a lot of the crap my wife usually watches on tv will be pre-empted by the election coverage. I'll be plugged into my PC as usual...watching vids on Prime or Hulu, or maybe even Dish on Demand. Maybe fire up one of the Wolfenstein games...and kill some Nazis.
