Apparently light pollution is awful for them, which makes sense.

I remember catching them in the summer in Texas and Alabama in the '70s. Seemed like there were millions of them. Can't think of the last time I saw one.

Well now I want to know the other two!

Hah. Hancock left a safe seat for this. And now the seat has (at least temporarily) flipped blue.

Update: wife voting tonight and said they now have six machines for the Dems.

Did this morning!

But not every place has separate lines. We used to have one line, but you checked in at separate tables. Now the whole thing is separated. Maybe not ideal in highly partisan times?

Yes in this county they are.

I think that's where I voted, and part of the issue was they had way more GOP machines than Dem ones (8 vs 2). At least that was true early today. (I think election workers were trying to fix it.) That hyper red area was not ready for Dems to turn out.

Problem was access code was invalid after 30 minutes, which would me reprocessing all voters. Election workers were great and were trying to get more machines, but it all shows how bureaucratic decisions make voting harder or easier, and they went harder (for Dems). 2/2

Not claiming conspiracy, but my voting place in Tarrant County this morning had ten voting machines. Eight were for the GOP primary, while only two were for Dems. It's a very red area, so I get some split, but Dems were piling up, while GOP were sailing through. 1/2

But at this moment, the answer is Submarine Bells.

I have listened to at least four of these in the past year.

I have not thought about that band in probably 30 years.

Damn.

I'm not sure I could resist watching that.

It makes sense that this would be the trajectory of the Texas GOP.

That chain is one of the good reasons to keep living in Texas.

Balkaning up?

Whatever new mama needs.

Let's hope the energy and outrage continues through November. Maybe we end up with a state Dem party with a pulse.

Congrats!

"Own the Libs by attacking John Piper" was not on my American religion bingo card.

Interviewed for one job 20 years ago and was told bluntly how much grant money you brought in determined tenure.

I used to have to watch these for my job. That was the Clinton years. I don't think I've seen one since. My life has not suffered.

Curl up somewhere warm and listed to Los Lobos. They lifted my mood today.

I did the Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres theme songs so you are beating me.

Gorgeous!
