Volume 16 - Day 295/71, 2024 - Monday

Early voting started in Texas today, and I had intended to go early this morning to vote. I didn't make it. I got in to the office, had a couple meetings, visited a property, and then headed to Williamson County to vote. I got there about 2 o'clock, there were probably 50 people in line ahead of me (outside the building and winding their way down two long hallways inside), and there was no place to park. From the time I got there, it took me about 55 minutes until I was leaving the place, but that is done. I was going to stop for a pizza on the way home, but I apparently don't know where Domino's is on Williams Drive (I know it is there somewhere), and I didn't want to turn around and go back. I had a pimento cheese flip for dinner, and I have been craving soup, so I also had some soup. I have really been craving the saltine crackers more than the soup, but I think it is stupid to have a dinner made up of crackers only.  It was back up into the mid-80s today, but the house cools down enough overnight with the windows open, that I still don't have the AC turned on. I think it will be on Wednesday, we will be up into the 90s again. I think there is a new television in my future. The tv in my bedroom suddenly had a black streak in the middle...about 30% of the picture is black, maybe dark grey. Ugh. But, tvs are kind of cheap I think, heading into the Christmas season. I wonder how big of one I can get?
