I Voted
As usual there was no one else voting when I went at 10AM. Two precincts use the town hall for voting, but I have never seen a crowd.
They had hand sanitizer all around, but no gloves or masks.

Mark Twain
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

I voted by mail–for someone no longer running. Oh well.
Really enjoy your blog, especially when a hurricane is on the way.
I started getting interested in hurricanes after I moved back to Cinco Bayou to help my Mother and had to deal with Opal in 1995. I have followed them ever since. If you do anything long enough you can figure out where the best information is located.
Even though there wasn’t a crowd, I should have voted by mail to protect the poll workers. I’ll probably vote absentee from now on.
Milford, NH was, of course, bustling on primary day, as it usually is. Naturally, there was a long list of candidates to get through, and no one had ever heard of covid-19. We’ll see what happens in November, but here’s hoping that hardy New Hampshirites will be out and feeling contentious.
(Apparently, there was some feeling of contention at the primary: there was a tussle between a (supposed) Democrat and a Trump supporter at one poll. How rude!)
Given the response of Trump supporters to the COVID-19 outbreak they may not be an annoyance for much longer.
Alas stupid can be a fatal disease, especially for evangelicals who think people should continue to gather on Sundays, or the politicians who don’t think all of the restrictions are unnecessary.
