29 degrees! Gah! There is frost on the grass, the roof, and the guy next door who obviously didn’t move fast enough. He should go inside. Will coffee help? More on that later.

The wife and I were up and went to vote at 7 am. Let's Go, Brandon! Good one. I heard a story yesterday and it's all about which side will get a better turnout. I like that the Rs kept Trump at arms length. Probably not your motivation. But I like to see new blood on both sides.

The wife and I were up and went to vote at 7 am. Let's Go, Brandon! Good one. I heard a story yesterday and it's all about which side will get a better turnout. I like that the Rs kept Trump at arms length. Probably not your motivation. But I like to see new blood on both sides. As usual with the current state of the mass media, you haven't really heard anything about it at all. If Youngkin wins (and it's looking like he's got a great shot at it) a reliably blue state (lotsa government wonks and leeches) goes red for the first time in more than a decade on the strength of suburban Mom's fighting a school board and their efforts to indoctrinate kids in Critical Race Theory, BLM activism, porn in the libraries, and Heinz 57 genders nonsense that's culminated in 2, count them TWO, rapes in "unisex" girl's bathrooms by the same skirt wearing male rapist (who has been convicted as an adult and is awaiting sentencing) in two different schools because the school board covered it up. And the Democrat candidate, McCauliffe, is the corrupt friend-of-Hillary's jackass who started the slide the last time he was governor. And he's had all the big D horses out to campaign for him- Obama, Abrams, Biden, etc.- all calling us racists and worse and lying through their teeth. Trump has ultimately kept to his very adept political sense and left it a local issue and Youngkin's been machine like (his last rally started last night at 10:15 pm in a park in Loudoun County (Ground Zero) outside in 50 degree weather and it was beautiful to behold) and laser focused on bringing decency back to state and local government. Of course, the Democrats still have the advantage of early voting and no particular problems with being corrupt as hell, but Youngkin's leading significantly in the latest polls so there's real hope. And, of course, there's still a somewhat decent shot that New Jersey will follow suit. All while Biden continues to nod off at COP 26. Let's Go, Brandon!

I'll sip my coffee while I plot. 2 eggs over easy, hash browns done crispy on both sides, bacon, wheat toast, hot sauce and coffee. I'd come over and join you but I'm afraid my breakfast would be quite cold by the time I got there.

High 20’s. Lake is steaming. Off to vote.
There is a pretty contentious school board election locally. Inexperienced evangelical anti-mask anti-vax mandate anti-CRT candidate with a millionaire daddy vs. a centrist incumbent.
Has made for great entertainment in dull west central MInnesota. The self righteous soapboxes are almost worn to splinters.

Currently 31F, but it's a dry, pleasant 31F.
Some interesting elections today. Minneapolis has a dozy as well. Have progressives progressed too far? Stay tuned.
