In the Category of Odd

That feeling when you see your neighbors digging in their yard by the illumination of car headlights.

I'm going to assume if it were nefarious, they'd be digging in their back yard instead of the front.

Windows

My windows have been appallingly dirty for a while now, but it's been cold &/or pouring the last few weeks, so I felt resigned to it. Today, I rubbed at the inside and the semi-opaque film started to come off so I figured even just doing the insides would be an improvement.

Doing the insides did help but they were still pretty junky on the outside. Even though it's just in the 40s out, it's sunny today. Fuck it, I thought, I can strong-arm them open and juggle them as they're pulled forward without dropping them on my computer, right?

The first window I did I had to balance the lower pane on my chest as I did the top which worked OK. Then I moved to a harder to reach window and realized I needed more of the vinegar-water mix in the sprayer.

I should've known/kind of did know this before I even started, but I really didn't think I'd try to wash the outsides. I rotated my computer so I could set the bottom pane down while I got a refill.

The last window required shoving flat head screwdrivers down the sides to get the bottom panel to release forward. I was proud of myself for remembering that and being able to finagle one on each side without dropping either once it released.

The windows aren't perfectly clean and streak free but they are so, so much better. A much clearer view of outside which I managed to achieve without breaking anything, huzzah!

Use Your Power: VOTE!

The most important thing you can do to resist is vote for Democrats on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

If voting didn't matter, the GOP wouldn't spend so much money and effort on campaigns, suppressing voters, fearmongering, and gerrymandering districts.

Neither party should draw those lines, but in the system we currently have who gets to next will be decided by which party is the majority in state legislatures in 2020. We get to decide which party will draw those lines this Tuesday.

Elections matter and this particular one matters a great deal.

So VOTE BLUE on Tuesday, November 6!

Find out where and when to vote and what's on your ballot.

You already voted? You are awesome!

Tell all your progressive/Democrat friends and family to vote.

Check out The Last Weekend and Swing Left for more ways to volunteer to get out the vote and transform our goverment in these last few days before the election.
