Voted in PA! (Clinton Group)

For Hillary and her delegates, of course!

We're in the midst (mist?!?) of a batch of thunderstorms and heavy showers, so I drove there and back in an absolute downpour.

I hope Hillary appreciates what I do for her.

On the way out, I was accosted by a candidate who wants to be listed on the ballot in November--a Libertarian. I kindly demurred. He got a little nasty and asked, "Don't you believe in choice?"

I responded, "Not for Ayn Rand Republicans. Good day."

Not my best moment.

Edited to add: I was voter #211 in my district, which at 1:30 PM is actually very heavy voting. Last November I was #100 or so a few hours later!

I'm trying to adjust the Madagascar periwinkle I started in a pot in my office to the outdoors. This is not helping.

Well, early days yet, and 12 flats to go out this weekend for hardening off. It'll be nice to have the cellar back and not have to wear sunglasses when down there...

Even in my county, I think, which should be a Clinton lean but isn't a Clinton lock.

"Don't you want a choice" is so lame. I've heard that one before and it never impresses me.

Well, don't you feel better for having a choice?

Exactly. Since Libertarians are pretty much the sociopathic wing of the Republican Party, I don't feel bad at all for not having that particular choice on the table.

Big Kudos for telling the Ayn Rand Libertarian he was in the wrong place today.

Love it
