A poll worker came into my work late tonight

She was bummed the bakery was already closed because she wanted some donuts to take in for her fellow poll workers tomorrow morning. I was staying late to finish up some stuff so rolled the donut rack out from the bakery and hooked her up.

Excited about voting at my new polling place tomorrow!

Here's a comic I just saw:



I love you all. Thanks for helping to keep me sane during this stressful time. We will prevail.

That's a great story and the cartoon is very moving too.

Thank you for both!

Especially the glazed with chocolate frosting. It felt good to help, even if in just a silly little way.

I worked elections for many years; I would have appreciated your gesture.

And YEAH I bet a whole lot of us come here to stay sane in the midst of a trump-dominated dust-devil of insanity.

Thanks for the report, happybird! And thanks for the sweet treats that those poll workers will appreciate, tomorrow! I hope you'll let us know how the Big Day went!
