heute soll es schneien

und jetzt denkst Du an…

and now what are you thinking of…

the last image in the game reminded sallyjo of the flaky layers of a croissant, or perhaps a sandy canyon wall. Twig was reminded of a wedding veil, and sally jo mentioned that she could see that completely. Apparently Utah weddings are lacking in the plastic arena.

In any case, I went for the croissant. Not as easy as one might think, i should have gone for the wedding veil as those are really a dime a dozen around here.

Das vorheriges Bild im Spiel errinnerte sallyjo an ein Croissant, oder vielleicht die sandige Waender einer Felsschlucht. Twig wurde an einen Brautschleier errinnert - offentsichtlich fehlen der Hochzeiten in Utah an Kunststoff.

Egal, ich entschiede mich ein Hoernchen zu finden, was gar nicht so einfach war - ich haette mich vielleicht doch auf den Brautschleier entschieden, die sind in Utah wie Sand am Meer zu finden.

the vote was pretty uneventful at our polling station. Utah has the Diabolical© machines, but also has a paper trail. You get to review your vote on screen before you submit and then on the paper receipt and THEN cast your ballot. The only ‘problem’ when i was there was that they only had two machines up at 7:00 (and a line of 8 people) and they were handing out cards faster than people could vote. This meant that people were standing behind the people actually voting at the time and, since it was the fist time voting with the new system, invariably they were watching the voters’ screens. The poll-workers had the card issuers stop issuing cards for a while so that they could get caught up and by the time i finished casting my ballot no one was standing behind any voters and four machines were up and running.

Happy U.S. voting day everyone! Enjoy your voice.
