We've been trying to figure out what to do about voting. We both are permanent vote-by-mail participants, so we already have our ballots. But given some things this year, I don't now how well I trust that mailed ballots will be delivered where they're supposed to be and properly counted.

So we have to decide whether we'll do the vote-by-mail ballot and take it to one of the official drop boxes for ballots, which we can already do, or vote in person. In-person voting starts around 10/30 I think, and basically all you need to do is surrender your mail-in ballot at the polling place, so you don't need a "provisional" ballot or anything like that.

I'm thinking we'll just drop our mail-in ballots at one of the drop boxes.

We mailed ours in last week.  

I mailed a check to my son that was returned twice, so I readdressed it last week and mailed it again and it still hasn't arrived.  He says the mail in TX is sporadic at best.

The mail here seems to be reliable nearly as I can discern.

Well, it's relative obviously.  Weather helps, or hurts, as the case may be.  I was initially surprised how quickly new pavement in Ohio broke down.

I am all astonishment.
I would have to be shown proof any state in the country has worse roads than WV. According to that list we are in the top half. I call BS.

Do you travel much?  I suspect the worst roads are where the worst winters exist, in general.  I do know if you get off the major highways in WV you can get stuck on a bad road for a long time.

California roads suck because traffic is so constant you can't even begin to try fixing them.

It keeps referring to urban roads, which leads me to methodology questions.

I'm going to vote in person on election day, like a weirdo.


I live in a high-poverty, high-minority area, so there won't be any lines.  Thanks, Republicans!

I am in utter state of shock that someone has worse roads down the state of Michigan.   When you drive there you feel like you are in a war zone literally
