Early voting was a no Bueno.
Massive lineup, no parking and I other arrangements. Democracy shall be exercised tomorrow.
Pub grub dinner and drinks with extended family. Was good. Wife is emotional for good reasons and some sad ones.
My son hugged and lifted his favourite uncle (wife's cousin) . It was such a sweet moment. This cousin used to babysit my kids when they were babies.
Is anyone here old enough to remember those collectable cards with pictures of Australian native birds on them that you used to find in packets of tea?
Edit: they were in Tuckfields tea.
yup. Tetley tea.
my husband used to collect them when he was a kid and he has 3 or 4 books of the complete collection
Do people not realise that Costco fuel has long hoses so you can fuel your car no matter which side your tank opening is on? Or are they afraid of using it?
Just nipped to Costco and drove in looking a line of 3 cars waiting at one bowser set, only for the 3 bowser set next to it be completely empty. Feels like a cheat code when you pull up, fuel up and zip out before that line has gotten through.
Security cameras have definitely improved a lot since I last looked at them. Everything used to need hard wiring for power and all the apps were pretty glitchy last time I investigated.
I'm going to get the Ring doorbell, cameras with solar power and gutter mounts for the front and back, plus one in the main area inside.

electric blanket on 1 or 2 was a lifesaver last night!
Silksong is gonna be playable at Game Worlds. I wonder how massive the hype is going to be?
I buy all kinds of music and since it's all 1 or 2 bucks I buy things I don't know. So this morning I put on a cd of "Indian" music. Just a compilation album.
First song up, This Land is your Land Indian style. It was pretty cool.
