Tip Jar for y’all! 🙂
I’ve been crazy busy, but so enjoy reading all of your comments whenever I can.

thank you! hope you are enjoying your new position! sounds like you’re needed.

I actually have a subscription to the Times, but you can use the Incognito function on a google search (press the upper left corner and you will see it). It lets you through the paywall after you use your free articles.

ALL voting machines are risky. Especially when privately owned. I don’t understand why that’s not obvious.
