Ooo Wee...Fall has arrived
9:00am Well, I just figured out why it feels like its' 54 outside - because it IS! My weatherbug reading hadn't been updated, so it still showed 64, but in fact once it updated, the temp is closer to 54-55 outside right now...its all good...
8:30am Its 64 outside, and feels colder than the 54 we had all week in Port Townsend - why is that? Cause I'm acclimated to heat in Austin and when it gets cooler I think it feels colder than it is? I dunno, but it does feel good..I can acutally wear a jacket with my shorts..[heh]
Thanks for the feedback about the 'donner for hire' auction, I went ahead and posted it last night...if you'd said it was a bad idea, I would have passed...
I've been kinda worried about the trunk show this weekend, I don't feel like I have enough stuff, but every time I think that about a show - I have plenty...i've never sold out of a show, ever...So I'll make some stuff for the show this weekend, but mostly I need to rework the existing strands I already have on hand...
Its time to get some beads made, and emails answered...no one has been able to take the kittens - yet...we let them out last night to play while the other kitties were outside (don't want to get anyone infected in case the strays are carriers of something) and of course they were hilarious...what kittens aren't? I found some toy mice and they had a great time chasing the mice, chasing each other and stomping on our heads when they had the chance...
Ok, time to get back to work...I'll be at the torch as much as possible today...anything new in your world??

It's a beautiful day here. A great one to stand in line to vote. I got an absentee ballot so I could make sure it was marked correctly (no touch screens for me), but I will take it to the polling place today, just so I can see what's going on. Usually we have light turn outs, except last election when the "govanator" was being elected. So I want to get a feel for it today. My sister in Indiana took her husband to the polls this morning before his surgery (new hip) so he could vote. It was raining hard and they were in a line with 20 people ahead of them...at 6:00am. But he got to vote. She said if the election doesn't go his way, she is going to just keep him sedated for 4 years. Otherwise, they may have to move to Canada. Ha! See you later. Off to vote.

Well I waited in line 1 1/2 hours to vote today. Great to see so many people wanting to have their voices heard!

Texas offers Early Voting and I took advantage of that before I left for Washington...I think I voted on the 18th or something like that...so I wouldn't have to worry about 1. forgetting or 2. standing in line forever...Brian voted around 7:00am and said there were only about a dozen folks in front of him - not too bad...Voting=good!

Yup...voting is good. In Oregon we just mail it in and hope the US Postal Service is as reliable as normal. I love the system.

Voted the day I got my ballot. I LOVE Oregon's vote by mail.
