Today is voting day in several US States. If that's you, please vote. Safely. Handsome Son and I, both mail-in voters of long standing, whose primary happened before the current disastrous appointment at the post office, were talking recently about workarounds.
For the general election, we'll use local dropboxes, plenty available, rather than trust the mail.
Sad to be figuring out workarounds, but we're hanged if we let this election be suppressed. And judging by the current mail slowdown -- small package for me has been sitting in my local po, small town, since last Wednesday. Arrived today. Two miles away. Couple of bills arrived several days late. So we make allowances, just in case.
Meanwhile bits of trivia. I noticed how my bits of Chinese porcelain, some antique like this lovely rice grain bowl, and modern saucer
mix happily with cheapo cups and teapots from the Asian store. This design is still being made, because it's beautiful,but this one is antique.
Teapot lid works as cup lid.
And my Golden Guide to insects arrived.
In case you're squicked out by them, I've opened to a page most people will like.
To me they're all animals, just as "weeds" are all plants. I am going to study this afternoon.
Teatime now. Pot of tea, lastuv the banana bread.
