Weekly Ephemera #115

• 
  We received our ballots for the upcoming election in the mail this week.  We filled them out on Friday and I dropped them in the  ballot drop box yesterday.  Nebraska is one of two states that divide their electoral votes by how the political districts vote.  The district where Omaha is located is known as the blue dot as, in past elections, it often goes to the Democrats.  The rest of Nebraska is as red - i.e. Republican - as they come.  There are scenarios where the Democrats win the presidency by one electoral votes - Nebraska's blue dot - but I hope it doesn't come down to one district in the middle of the country.
• I resumed walking this week.  I walked three times totalling 26.3 miles (42.3 km) so I walked a very slow, five day long marathon.  I'm happy that I was able to restart so easily.  Now I just need to do this next week ... and the next  ... and the next.
• I started to watch the second season of "Rings of Power" on Prime.  It's interesting even though the Lord of the Rings books have never really interested me very much.
• We will be have our first frost/freeze over the next few days.  Glad to see Fall finally arriving.  We brought our plants in today and I'll be turning on the furnace (it was checked out earlier this week and everything is working per specifications) later tonight.
• The first Great Britain post will drop tomorrow.
