It will never never never freeze in Carolina!
The weather is always so nice.
No, it will never never never freeze in Carolina;
the clime is sublime, if you're made of ice!

I do not anticipate posting a "Countdown: 0" journal entry. If you find yourself next Tuesday, registered to vote but not having voted yet, then please do.

I voted yesterday. I am pleased to tell you that stringent protections against the transmission of viruses were used at the polling place.
I have also felt some concern about a more human sort of threat: that some people might try to intimidate voters, or worse. I am also glad to say that I witnessed no efforts of that kind.
And I am even more delighted to have learned that our local government has taken appropriate — if less visible — precautions against that possibility, too. If anyone does attempt that sort of nonsense, the authorities are well positioned to stop them.
Countdown: 3
Oct. 13th, 2020 04:17 pmToday is Tuesday, October 13, 2020. Three weeks remain before the end of the general election, which will occur on Tuesday, November 3.
Note the change in the second sentence, as compared with previous entries in this series. I had been saying, "X weeks remain before the general election on Tuesday, November 3," but I realized that that was not correct. The general election will not be "on" November 3; the general election has already begun.
In North Carolina, the first day for early, in-person voting will be Thursday, October 15; that's two days from now. To find out the locations of early voting sites in your county, you can visit https://vt.ncsbe.gov/ossite/.

Here's something which Joe Biden may use, if he wishes, in tonight's debate or a subsequent one: "Mr. President, we already know that you are good at insulting people. Wouldn't you like to show us whether there's anything else you can do?"
