The reason I haven't gone for classical arcaheology is that I'd constantly eat the artifacts.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.
Take the damn money and leave me alone.

I always vote early. I pick a convenient day, & give myself time to review a sample ballot online first. Too many Election Day horror stories (esp. long lines) here in Texas for me to trust that day-of option. If there's bad weather or some kind of glitch during early voting, I still have ... 1/2
