pecosbob's JournalI had another bad day at work yesterday (violence trigger)
I had another violent confrontation with a non-masker at my convenience store in Las Vegas last night. Mild concussion...multiple scalp and neck lacerations...lots of blood. Much of the store was trashed in the process. Four people were involved in the melee before it was over...afterward, hours with police and EMTs. Our store Christmas tree was destroyed. I'm a bit dismayed this morning.
Now it's the next evening, 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve. I was sent home early from my shift by corporate while they 'review' the incident and call me in the morning to discuss it. The bastards are too cheap to provide security for the store and when we have to defend ourselves we are typically interrogated by flacks desperate to cover the corporation's ass, while we're left swinging in the wind. I'm too old for this shit.
Edit...thanks for your good wishes and suggestions, all.
12 pm Christmas Day...my co-worker and I were both suspended. Because the store only has five employees with two of us suspended this meant my other co-worker had to pull three shifts in a row with only a few hours off after the first shift. At least I didn't have to work on Christmas and I have a day to let my wounds heal.
Midnight PST...looks like it's coming down to five states
Nevada will go blue before much longer.
We need two of these five to take the White House.

Nevada Supreme Court rejects Trump campaign emergency request to limit mail ballot counting
https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/trump-campaign-nv-gop-file-emergency-appeal-to-state-supreme-court-to-limit-mail-ballot-counting-in-clark-countyThe appeal, filed Tuesday in the state Supreme Court, was a last-minute request for the state’s highest court to block Clark County’s mail ballot process. Carson City District Court Judge James Wilson on Monday issued an order flatly rejecting all of the requests to modify the county’s mail ballot processing plan as lacking standing to warrant last-minute judicial intervention in the state’s election process.
The order, signed by all seven members of the court, stated that the appeal failed to demonstrate a “sufficient likelihood of success to merit a stay or injunction” and that the request failed to identify any “mandatory statutory duty” or “manifest abuse of discretion” that would warrant judicial intervention at this point on Election Day.
Thanks to our vets for making this day possible...now go exercise your most important right

Remember to wear your mask! There will be lines in some locations 
so hang tough. If you've already voted and there are lines at polling places in your area, maybe grab a few cases of bottled water and hand them out to people in line. Call your friends and make sure they've voted. If there are disturbances at your polling place, first look to your own safety and then report the problem immediately. Be safe. Today, together we fire this chump!

Facebook And Steve Bannon Hacked The Media. And They Won't Stop.
Unless we break those machines—by building a better model for news. One where stories inspire action, not outrage and hate; where investigations enlighten instead of obfuscating; where opinion pieces advance ideas instead of cementing prejudice. And where publishers approach their audience not as “eyeballs” to be monetized, but as partners.

Early Voting Ended Today - Ralston's Early-Voting Blog
Clark County firewall at 81K according to Ralston. 1,021,253 ballots, about 56 percent of the state’s active voters, have been cast - equivalent to 91 percent of the total Nevada turnout in the 2016 presidential race. Mail-in votes continue to roll in which will be counted as late as Nov. 10 if postmarked by Nov.3. Bottom line: Dems have to be happy, Republicans have to be worried.
