The Amazing Race
By Daddy
Las Vegas — Here we are five days before the election and over 75 million people have voted. As a nation we have more votes than each of the elections before 1972 and are on track to establish a new record in the 2020 election.
You can be a part of this record breaking event! Your vote is important! If you're in one of those states that mailed you a ballot to fill it out, do so, put it in its envelope, and sign the certification on the outside. Then take it to your polling place. You don't need to trust USPS to get it that last mile. No matter what visit your polling place and take part in history.
Health wise things are settling down. I should have my diabetic shoes in another week or so. They won't replace the CROW boot when I go out, however the shoes will be handy to wear in the apartment. The last couple times I wore the boot if almost felt comfortable, however I'm still using my cane.
As is usual as we head into the holidays, money gets tight however October appears to be taken care of. To all those that have donated, Thank you for your donations!. Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page
