My past week has mainly consisted of me stumbling out of bed in the morning, loading the Texas Secretary of State's website and telling people how many of us voted the day before.

It's been cold in Texas the past couple weeks <#breaking, #icymi>, which is ideal weather for shoving a microphone in people's face to ask them how they feel.

My Dearest LuLuBell, Lo, it has been so long our last correspondence. And I just now realized you actually made your debut in my blog seven years ago. At the risk of editorializing, I dare say I was a visionary in trying to prevent constant surveillance.
