  1. Now I want tacos. Wachusett Brewery stopped selling their fish tacos this summer. I miss them.
  2. I personally have no issues with it. I like doing it. If my elderly mother in law (89?)can make one less trip into a crowd (even non Covid related...her driving isn’t so good) I feel better. She hand delivered to her local ballot box early. I got an I voted pen today (they were not RE-using them) instead of an I voted sticker.
  3. State. US Senate and rep. Some local stuff. Primaries
  4. Our volunteers all appeared to be past retirement age today. Still seemed very safe. I’m not personally worried about mail getting lost etc. delayed yes... I’m glad there are options (absentee, mail in, early) It should be fine
  5. Sometimes I vote against someone. Lol Our son voted for the first time today
  6. I just voted in person. I almost did the mail in ballot to be deposited at my town hall but figured I had time. We never have too many people at our sole polling place. For those who need (elderly, frail) it I feel mail in done the right way is useful and low risk.
  7. Very hard to get into the vocational (trade) school here. It is by lottery after you clear the requirements. Place is packed and they get new equipment all the time. The teachers make good coin too. Welding and electrical are prob their top two groups, their health stuff is in high demand as well. Our son did well via the carpentry program. Way ahead of his peers at his university
  8. Regarding youth employement numbers. Back when I was a teen, there were a lot of min wage jobs that adults wouldn’t take so we had a good choice. I got a supermarket job and was soon making a bunch of $$$. A lot of those jobs are now filled by older people as either a second income or to try to make it work for their families. Fewer openings for high school kids. There are some to be sure though. Our son has been working at least part time since age 16.
  9. Yeah. It is too cold now. I will make one final ceremonial dip to say goodbye and get one September day in. Awesome summer to have a pool.
  10. Well, 60% don't survive their first year anyway and 80% close within 5 years. But this situation is making things much much worse. My favorite local place closed after 10 years... sucks
  11. Or we need to remember to close the downstairs windows...
  12. Played some mini golf in Troy NH. Had to wear a light sweatshirt for part
  13. ORH looks like it will finish met summer about 1.5" BN meh
  14. Very breezy here with gusts near 30 Much more comfortable than that dewy mess yesterday
  15. Furnace incoming. Hide your children...
  16. ORH now down to 72.8F avg for the month. Out of first place. also +1.05” AN (to piss off Dendy) precip wise. Warm and wet
  17. Ended up with 0.6” from yesterday’s festivities. Hopefully we catch some dry weather for a bit
