It gets worse! This morning's news reported that the line at the Cape Coral poll was 4.5 hours long! One person was treated for heat exhaustion!

Thank goodness I setup years ago Permanent Early Voting and don't have to go to the polls any longer and stand in line. I remember the last time I had to do that and I don't want to do it again. They mail it to me, I mail it back, works well.

I'm dropping off our ballots, probably tomorrow. They usually don't make you wait in line for that. I hope.

I am almost finished with my new lathe stand and ready to test the new lathe out on my pens. I just discovered that the size of mandrel needed for this lathe is different than what my existing lathe is, so it won't work until I get a new mandrel.

Ordered one from Woodcraft this afternoon. When it gets here, I will be ready to go.

Good for you!


LOL I've done that a few times,,,, "walk into the polling place" and drop off the ballots. Everyone standing in line looks at me like I've done something wrong. It's always been ok to do that here in my state. It's just not nice to laugh at all those in line when you leave.

People who make fun of mentally disabled children really need me to introduce my foot to their face. I don't care if you make fun of me or anyone else, but when you make fun of children, let alone MENTALLY DISABLED children, expect me to flip out on you and humiliate you in public.

He was a freakin' grown man too. Obviously not in the head though. Hope he went home tonight to his mom's house to cry on her shoulder after I made him look like the scumbag he is right in the middle of the mall. Then again, he probably still lives at his mommy's house since he's the biggest douchey tool I've ever met in my life.

On a lighter note, the mom thanked me afterwards for sticking up for her and her daughter and I have to say that little girl somehow made my day just by seeing her smile at me after that rotten piece of trash almost made her cry. Wish I could have had more hours on my lunch break to take her and her mother to get ice cream or something to help them forget about the situation.

I hear all the time on the radio and internet about how children today are tormented by bullies for any sort of physical or mental disabilities they possess, and my attitude was always "just suck it up and deal with it; that's life" until today. It made me nearly sick to my stomach to see a dirt bag in his late twenties make such a filthy comment which I should have knocked him straight to the ground for saying to this little girl.

I don't care if she's not the prettiest person you've ever seen; no positive word on this planet will ever be used to describe you as you're a piece of trash who should be thrown in a Cambodian prison and left to rot away. That girl had a heart of gold and NO ONE deserves to be bullied.
