The county mailed out the ballots on Friday. I got mine today. The
mailman looked a little stressed but that has more to do with the 5
pounds of glossy political ads he has to stuff in every mailbox.

Now for the hard part -- there are a few legislative initiatives on the
ballot that are convoluted enough that I have to figure out if yes means
yes...



The post office did it to me again on a small package. I bought an item
from China off ebay. The tracking shows it made it to the local post
office in my small town. From there it went 40 miles away to a big
town, and then back to the local post office where it was then delivered
to the house. I know this is the 2nd time they have done that to me.



My wife is waiting for a package and it started shipping with FedEx who
took to state USPS who took it to local USPS but has not shown up yet.
Doing this means that something that might only take a few days now
takes a week.

As for voting, I did absentee over the internet. They emailed me a
ballot which I printed filled out and signed. I scanned it and emailed
back.


We haven't gotten that fancy. I've voted by mail for years but this year
has an advantage. In person voting is severely restricted so the return
envelope is postage paid. I used to have to buy a stamp.
