Election Excuses For Bloggies!

Apparently no computers for these Dixvillians!

We lived through the end of daylight savings time and do you know what I did not hear one time? I did not hear that I should change the batteries in my smoke alarms. Is that only when daylight savings time begins and not when it ends? The battery manufacturers are really missing out on taking some of our money if that is the case. They could double their sales if the tried to convince us of something stupid twice a year. Don't the smoke alarms "chirp" when the batteries are getting low?

It's election day for most of you. Cha Cha and I voted eight days ago and we won't have to fight the craziness today...woo hoo. For the first time in the history of the stupid voting facts we'll hear today Dixville Notch, Hew Hampshire, the first place to vote and be counted in the United States, ended in a tie. There are only ten registered voters and they ended up five-to-five. Maybe, so this doesn't happen again, they should get one more or get rid of one voter so they have an odd number. Speaking of voting...I cannot believe that with computers the way we have them now we have to have an Electoral College. Why can't we count each vote electronically? I think I am going to print Electoral College sweatshirts and T-shirts. What year was in established? I had to change the subject a bit so I didn't try to come with an insanely funny Dixville Notch joke. Probably something like "all the Dix down in Dixville" with a bunch of Seussian rhymes. I may still do it before this blog is done.

Today is my Saturday. Right now is like my Friday night and then tonight is like my Saturday morning. I know you get tired of me saying that but it is more for me so I remember what I have to do each day/night. Fabio has basketball try-outs after school. I don't think he cares whether he makes it or not. I hope he makes it, of course. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I guess I am too healthy. I do have borderline hypertension, that's fancy for high blood pressure, and they make me come every now and then to take some of my insurance money. I don't know if you remember...the last time I was there they gave me a sheet of paper that I was supposed to go and have a bunch of tests done. Blood and urine and such. I guess that happens when you get to be late MIDDLE-aged. This is the second time they gave me the papers and I didn't go. The last time they didn't mention the papers from the previous time so maybe they won't this time either. I have to pre-MATTitate my excuse. The dog ate the papers? Flood? Locust? I forgot? I had a bone in my leg? I didn't feel like it? What tests? I will probably come up with some amalgam combined of many of the afore mentioned excuses. I will just wing it - I am better under pressure. Maybe religious objections or conflicts. Those are never questioned.

I have to try to get some sleep before my doctor's appointment or my excuse is going to be shoddy. While I sleep I am going to have visions of ballot-plums dancing in my head. I hope all of the Dix down in Dixville are wrong; could you imagine a tie? What happens then? Romney becomes Obama's Vice President because Obama is already President? Obama becomes Obama's Vice President because there is a Republican Congress? Do you like Kid Rock or Bruce Spingsteen better? Kid Rock is travelling with Romney and Springsteen is travelling with Obama. I would have imagined it opposite for some reason. I wanna know who Justin Bieber would travel with or is he Canadian? Okay, I am gonna sleep for a few hours and go to the doctor. Wish me luck (on the excuse). Thank you for stopping by and for stopping in regularly.  It looks like Wisconsin is leaning toward Obama...isn't Ryan from Wisconsin? ENOUGH!!!!! TTTT...MITM (the new podcast should be up by tomorrow, hopefully). TA! I will advise
