We attended the UMN Raptor Center bird release at Carpenter Nature Center today.

Early Voting

I early voted today. I believe in the secrecy of the ballot, so I'm not going to say who I voted for president. However, I did NOT vote for anyone who lies about pretty much everything and wants to be a fascist dictator.

I'll Vote In-person

I'm not going to vote by mail. The post office just sent me a piece of envelope with my return address that also had my credit card company's name on the inside piece of the envelope. Apparently they destroyed my payment for my credit card. The 45th president worked hard to ruin the postal service, to prevent poor people from voting--and this election is important enough so I will go vote in-person to make sure my vote counts.

Acorn Squash

It was time to pick these beauties because the stems had dried up. There was one more but it was rotten on the bottom.
