I didn't get any call just a few things hanging on my door. Still the barrage of "news" and ads has been a grind. On Wed I suspect I will feel like I was freed from a dungeon and see sun for the first time in months.

What I don't get are the throngs of people that are voting early.

My beloved sister apparently didn't want to spend 15 minutes voting tomorrow at our neighborhood precinct, so she just juiced four hours waiting at the County Board of Elections in the next town over..

We have vote by mail in Oregon. I think other states are looking at doing the same going forward.

Super impersonal, but easy.

Yep mail in is a must for me. I hated waiting in line back in the day, though I hated liquor stores and bars being closed more.

Actually that is an option here in Ohio as well. They must of spent plenty of tax dollars mailing everybody in the state to let them know about it.

My precinct is right on the way to lunch, so it's real easy for me.

Mail in for me. I switched party affiliation a year or so ago. I feel a little guilty however, since I have received political favors by members of both parties at one time or another.

Political calls don't count against the "Do Not Call" Registry, AFAIK.

I always chose mail-in ballot and vote early. Gets rid of pesky spam calls to vote for their candidate.

But they are robocalls. Norobocall blocks them for me. It has been awesome. The phone rings once and stops.

That's why I signed up. :-) It worked at least two or three times last night. It still rings once (or partially rings), right?

We could do with this here in the UK. I get calls on my mobile. What they do over here is use a number generator to go through all the combinations, as soon as it hits one that connects they call you. As soon as you pick up they have your number confirmed as active and you get loads of cold calls. 

If i dont know the number i cancel the call and google the number.

 

Have you tried tps?  http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html

I registered a landline with it once and got no more calls.  The calling organisation has to respect the rules and actively not call anyone on the list but given that prosecutions are now more likely if they break the rules I think it works.

Same thing happened when I moved to Colorado; never got a spam call in my life until I got to that state.

Anyway, I voted about an hour ago.  This has easily been the worst election I've had the mispleasure of participating in.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
