ERIC we hardly knew ye....

 It took a while to sift/sort/clean/label 15 things to list so I ended up not listing them and just went to bed. 

I woke up, finally, at 5PM and turned on the radio. There's a system or agreement called ERIC that, among other things, prevents people from voting in two different states. It was agreed upon by about half of the states, and now the right-wing is getting it removed even in the state of Virginia which was one of the founders. 

This is how democracy dies, little by little. The rank and file Nazis all imagine this wonderful all-white future where they, personally, will end up in charge of quite a few other people. No one imagines they'll be the one mopping floors or something. 

I'd finally finished reading "Angry White Pyjamas" and took it with me, leaving just in time at 6:30, to Nijiya. Nicholas was working there and I handed it off to him. "Don't say I never gave you nothin'" I joked, and he said, "Thanks!".  I just bought a few packages of gum there because all I really wanted to do was drop off the book.

I went around to Cardenas and got a few things, and in counting up I'd only spent about $20 so I have $40 left until payday. I'm saving a bit over $100 in the bank, and there are cash savings too. 

I also picked up a few good books from the free libraries that I want to read. 

Outside here, the guys in the other half of the complex held a fireworks show that was pretty cool - lots of those ones that shoot up into the air and then burst. And the Mad Max bike trailer is still there but the wheels are both gone both the one on it and the one under the bushes, plus some of the other stuff so it got a good picking-over. In fact, I watched a zombess walk over from Crack Alley and look the stuff over, then walk back. Considering zombies have no problem riding around on bikes without tires at all, wheels with tires aren't going to sit around long.

Election Day

 I actually watched the 2nd half of Interstellar which someone had put on YouTube. Neat movie.  Amazingly, I'm sleeping painless once I ...
