Odds & Ends

• New rule: No gun stores the weekend before a Presidential Election.
• Addendum to new rule: Especially if a Shooting Legend is going to be there.
• So I guess I'll pass on meeting Jerry Miculek  for this year.
•  WA went to 100% mail-in ballots. King County sets up drop-off boxes around the county; I dropped mine off on the way to not meet Jerry Miculek.
• The only debate, for me, is whether this is more or less subject to fraud than electronic ballots.
• {Rant about voter fraud/posthumous voting/no ID required deleted}
• Among items on the ballot is an initiative for "extreme protective orders" which would lead to anonymous callers having one's guns confiscated "temporarily".
• This thing is written so poorly that the ACLU has taken a stand on a gun control
• Always fun  to see the political parties claimed by th denizens of Seattle.
• The "Revolution and Liberation Party" is a new one on me.
• Sad the see the Karmic Flying party has disappeared.
• Sort of. 
• Started a new position in The Salt Mines this week, my first desk job in ages.
• When they brought me on, passing mention was made to emergency planning, mostly in the context of amateur radio...
• One week in, and yesterday they dropped all emergency planning in the state in my lap.
• I have a week to revise everything.
• I can barely remember how to get to the new office; IT still hasn't granted me access to all the web sites I'm supposed to use.
• Go home, State of Washington, you're drunk:
• DOC: Convicted criminals should no longer be called 'offenders' | KIRO-TV
• Washington state elector says he won't vote for Clinton | KIRO-TV
• Good for him, but he'd better watch his back, lest he commit suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head. Twice. 
• Just sayin'.
