study the ballot

 i did not watch any 'big bang theory' reruns tonight as it was election day and i wanted to study the ballot before reaching the precinct, a school. it is nice that sample ballots are available online, must enter your address of course. an odd numbered year so not as many offices on the ballot as an even numbered year, but mayor was up for election. there was ranked choice voting, i made 4 choices and we were permitted up to 6. some school board seats were also up for election. i was used to the precinct being one i could walk to, but i am aware that things change. i most commonly have voted in schools or churches, so being back at a school is no big deal, plenty of space available. had to ask for an 'i voted' sticker as there weren't any next to the machine where i fed my ballot in. i liked looking at the wall of fame near the entrance on the way out, famous people who attended the school. i knew about the baseball player, had to look up one who had a mic next to him in the picture. as expected, it was a musician. one sign said 'so happy to see you here today'. i ate before i went to the precinct, and it didn't take all that long to finish voting. then it was time to go home and watch the world series, game six. the braves beat the astros 7-0 to take the series 4-2. the scoring started with a 3-run home run. later on i went on a walk and found 47 cents. at work there was one check file that had a much higher volume than expected, so i emailed to confirm it was correct. usually the file is much lower than its 'companion' file, both from fargo. not all checks went out due to the high volume, but over three-quarters of it did. just under 2 thousand left over to run through the next day. early in the morning i went to an adjacent building to send some mail over there. first time i had done this in a while. if i see it in the tub at the end of the day, it seems needless to rely on someone else to try to get it there when i am so close by. after work i went to the nearby liquor store and got 2 bottles of coors light from the closeout cart, so now there are 5 beers waiting.
