Super-duper impressed!

On November 2, I posted a PSA about ease of ordering a new United States passport. At the time of the order, they said to expect a 6-8 week delivery time.

 

 

At time of order, I said "No hurry, regular processing, etc."  Well, shit... my new passport arrive in the mail TODAY, less than ONE WEEK after ordering it!  

 

Kudos to the US State Department!  I am SUPER DUPER impressed!!!  

 

Onward and abroad!

Saturday Morning Sip

The FIRST Saturday of November! 

 

Yes, indeedie!   

 

 

 

 

IMHO - If you are one of those morons I see has to use their smartphones to

photograph every moment of every day and post it on Twitter, Facebook or 

Instagram, etc., flock cameras are just a nit. Don't cry "My PRIVACY!!" when 

your photos can be scanned off social media.  Just fuck off. 

 

Slivovitz season is here!  

 

I love that our kitchen appliance has a BACON setting!

Our (very well used) Emeril Legasse Air 360 Toaster Oven.  

Uh-huh... 

 

 

 

Ah-yup. 

 

Thank you, Wiley!

...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!
