...and now, the bad news.

47%?  Really?  That was the VOTER TURNOUT in our TOWN???!?!?

 

Just... boggles my mind.   

UPDATE: Did some further research from the Rhode Island Secretary of State's office; that 47% is about average for our towns voter turnout.  It has been trending downward for the past 25 years. Whether an election was mid-term or not, the numbers remain consistent.  The highs were in the upper 70% in the early 2000's.    

GOOD MORNING!!!!

 

So glad I live in Rhode Island!  We actually do know how to vote.  

With the exception of Florida, I am glad for the national outcomes.   

 And COLLINS is OUT!!!!!   Hallelujah!!!!!

Your post-election Memes.

 It's over.

And least the campaign ads have stopped.  Now all we have ahead of us are the endless "Year-end Toyotathon!" commercials.  

Book nerds, UNITE!

Do you have a working membership to your local library?  Then you more than likely have access to a HUGE troth of online video content!!!  Introducing...

 

 

It's FREE, and you can stream movies over your streaming boxes (we have Roku here).  Husband discovered a YouTube video about them.  Kanopy has our town library in the system, so I dug out my library card and created an account!

 

We were so, damn excited that we laid in bed... for four hours... scrolling through the thousands of titles to find something that we could both agree on... Net: Some things just never change.  

 

But we were blown away by the volume of titles and genres!  You get 16 movie "tokens" each month, most movies require 2 or 3 tokens to watch.

 

It was nice to have an alternative to Netflix. Did I say it is FREE?

 

There is also another FREE, worldwide service called Hoopla, however, our town library is not part of that network, yet...

 

 

We're working on it.  😀
 

And if you DON'T have a working library membership, it SHOULD be free to join one, too!   

 

Enjoy, and onward!

Mid-term Election Day - 2026

 LET'S DO THIS!!!!

VOTE!

 

 

A PSA: Passports

 

Okay!  You can call me impressed!  Husband and I was planning to travel abroad in the next year or so, and I discovered that my passport expired in December of last year.  I heard everything from "You need to go to the State Department office!" to "Only ONE Post Office can process it!", so we began preparing for a day on the road tomorrow.  I decided to check the US State Department website.  

 

Well, seems that I had up to five years to renew my expired passport!   I was able to do the WHOLE THING, ONLINE, including uploading a new headshot that I took for the new passport using my phone!  It was beyond easy; all the instructions were there on lighting and stuff.  

 

New passport, however, is $130.00, up considerably from the last time I did this. 

 

For those of you whom have passports; either valid or recently expired - it was a good option!  And no spurious travel required to get it done.  

 

Onward,

Rade 

 

Monday

 

 

Tomorrow are the Mid-term Elections.

 

 

 

And let's not forget...

  

So question: Do you want this fraud to remain empowered?

 

 

 

WAKE UP!!!!  Your life actually DOES depend on it.
