I stopped watching the local news months ago. Thanks to Facebook's algorithms I rarely see anything there that ticks me off anymore. On Twitter I have muted the infuriatingly narrow-minded accounts that some people would retweet. On TV these days I mostly watch the Food Network, TCM or Morse, Lewis, Endeavor, George Gently and Poldark on PBS. (Seriously I am the only one who totally knew how Ross would stay out of debtor's prison -- it was so obvious.)

I voted early -- in-person absentee -- because I don't work in the same county where I live and I expect there will be long lines tomorrow.

I am sad that there are so many hateful people and so many people who think sexual assault is an okay thing to do. I am actually quite worried about what will happen tomorrow, regardless of who wins. This is a low point in our history.
