CotSQ 6

Tonight was my D+D game, in which the party continued to make the underdark a safer place, and prove that fighters are overrated.

( spoilers for City of the Spider Queen )

I'm beginning to think that there is just no way to prevent a high-level party from resting safely in town every night. At least not in the Realms.

Ballot Hunt

I'd planned to vote today at the end of the little walk down to Sammamish Hi that I've been trying to start doing regularly, but last night a note appeared on my door giving 48 hours notice that my apartment was being inspected, so during the time that I'd planned to walk around, I was taking out the trash and such.

'48 hours' really isn't enough notice, at least not when I don't see it until after midnight and it's telling me they're coming in on the morning after next. I'll be spending tonight cleaning the bathroom. Yay.

Anyway, I didn't have enough time to walk, so I drove down to the high school, which, as I'd suspected, was under construction. I parked where I could, and walked halfway around the building/construction site to the entrance, where I was glowered at by hall monitors and librarians. No voting was happening at Sammamish Hi. They sent me to Lake Ridge Elementary, a few blocks farther south.

At Lake Ridge Elementary, some voting was happening, but not for my precinct. Since it was a real polling place, though, they had the list of all the places including the one I actually needed to find, which was at the Neighborhood Church. Next door to my apartment building.

So I went there and voted. Glowery people lurked in those halls as well. Glowery, soft-spoken people who became suspicious when I didn't answer their indecipherable challenge. The people actually running the poll were nice enough, though.

Still with all the running around I was late for work. Not that anyone really keeps track. I'm just glad I hadn't tried to walk!
