It is both trash collection and election day in these parts and before you chuckle at that peculiar juxtaposition, please remember where I live. Voting was handled weeks ago by mail and my ballot was left for a trusted friend rather than our postal carrier. It reached its destination well before today which meant no worries for me. My postal carrier is still strutting his stuff, but I prefer not to have contact with someone who will not distance or wear a mask. I do know that one of the prospective judges on the ballot has COVID. I hope she recovers.
Other than that, I listened to a brief presentation on the role of women here in suffrage and apart from a few of which I was already aware, there really was no new information. This area was a last bastion of conservatism, just as I suspected. I was taken aback when the speaker noted a subtopic about which she desired more research but was unable to obtain it due to the library being closed. Had I been the librarian moderating this program, I would speak to this History Center docent afterward and extend a hand in getting further information. The docent, an older woman, did promise to complete her research at a later time.
Overcast and rainy for most of the afternoon, we finally have slivers of azure, just before sunset.
How was your day?

Garbage day and election day sit perfectly comfortably in my head. I am glad you were able to vote well in advance and are sure that your vote will be counted.
It was damp and chilly here. So we went on a drive. And saw emus which is a rare treat. I am still drying out, but thoroughly enjoyed standing in the rain watching them and taking a very few photos.
Emos? You lucky thing !
Sorry, should have been Emus...
As you know, I had a lovely, sweet day!
Apparently my ballot arrived in Tampa HQ weeks ago, so I was happy about that. Hopefully voting in the general election will go as smoothly!
I’ve been enjoying the great outdoors; sadly, today it’s raining. I don’t know why I said ‘sadly’, because rain is as necessary for life as sunshine.
I have been a postal voter for several years, never any problem here, but then we still call this country a ‘democracy’, although our own mini-trump is doing his best to change that.
My day wasn't awful but my jaw clenching has been a challenge all day the past two days now. I do feel good about preparing a digital quiz that took nearly 45 minutes to type in! Love the word "azure." Thank you for that :o)
I am not sure it will be counted but it arrived. I love emus!
I hope you have many more!
My hope as well...
I hope he does not succeed.
I voted by mail for the primaries but will likely early vote in person. I'll try to go at an off-hour so I can get in and out.
My days run together of late - I work from home all day and work on our property every evening. But I'm content with that.
