   So.. whatcha y'all thinking about the advance call for another federal   
   election?   
      
   I voted in the advance polls yesterday.  I noticed a couple of things quite   
   different.    
      
   [1] the ballot actually mentioned the party for each candidate.  I always   
   wondered why they never had that in the past. As a result, I think I ended up   
   voting for the wrong candidate the very first time I was old enough to vote.   
      
   [2] covid theatre was in full force.  Free masks were available. Hand   
   sanitation was required.  They even required that I "sign" (including my   
   telephone number) a registry. I actually had to pause as I realized that I   
   forgot my own phone number for a moment.  :D  The problem with the registry is   
   that it failed to provide a record WHEN my visit occurred. I mean.. there was   
   no date or TIME column. But the venue was empty. Gee.. I hope that I don't get   
   a call to tell me that my health may have been compromised. LOL   The "workers"   
   were all at their stations, and I was the only active voter in the facility   
   during my 3 minute visit.
