I just had a “smore”, which is chocolate and marshmallow melted together between graham crackers (write me for the recipe). It is instant hyperactivity on crackers, and I’m having trouble concentrating to type.

Tarrant County, where I reside and vote, went to a pseudo-computerized voting system (cards completed with a magic marker and counted electronically). I thought the ballot was very easily understood, and the scoring was done on the spot, by feeding the ballot into the counter as I turned it in, which then stored it in a locked box. Pretty slick, and should make ballot counting painless. Unless it doesn’t work, which happened. Now, according to local TV news, there was a glitch in the computer program that totaled the votes, so they’re awaiting the arrival of all the paper ballots, and then they’re going to count the 225,000+ ballots again, on a ‘special’ machine, there at the county courthouse. So, no election results until tomorrow from Ft. Worth.
