There are currently 1,540 ballots in Seattle that haven't been counted because they are being "challenged" over signature issues. About half are from people who didn't sign their ballots, and the other half due to signature matching issues.

There are some books that do this really well & take full advantage of the claustrophobia of spacecraft, so I'm surprised no one's done it on film. The enclosed spaces & no means of escape are made for a good serial killer narrative.

I'll probably never get the Advent calendar, but I do hit the post-holiday sale on the other limited edition stuff. It's my New Year treat to myself.

The Vosges, which I saw you had already mentioned, but every year I look at it & dream of the day when it doesn't feel like an excessive indulgence. (They're currently offering 15% off & donating to Feed America.) www.vosgeschocolate.com/products/a-c...

Thank you for wishing this. Now we need to manifest it into being. Pretty please, @bpal.bsky.social?
