Election Day

-

It's Election Day.  Here on Long Island our own elections tend to take a back seat to the NYC news.  The race for Mayor is a big deal.  All we have seen on the news lately has been the two candidates for Mayor.  The race isn't even close, but it has been interesting to watch.

I still use my mother's house  as my legal address, so I voted by absentee ballot. Lots of local offices on the ballot this year -- District Attorney, Sheriff, county legislators, Town Supervisors and council members,  judges for several courts. 

Drew took advantage of early voting.  In the county where Drew votes, the big races are County Executive and District Attorney. 

There are four propositions on the ballot, three of which  have the ability to shift the balance of power in the state government.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know where I stand politically. But there will be no electioneering on the blog today.  I will simply urge you to find out what is on the ballot in your state, and go out and vote!

    No voting for us this year. (September's recall election was enough, I think.)

    I won't be partisan, either, except to note that the three propositions you mentioned all failed. I voted early and it was busy, which surprised me a little, but it also pleased me. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
