Waiting for a Storm of Sorts

So the election is over. Well, sort of. While the rest of the country agonizes over the results, we here in Montana wait. Our votes have been counted. In our fair state we have about a million people. The entire state, a million souls. That is about as many as a decent large city. I checked out the numbers for 2020. Registered voters: 696,292 and then votes actually cast: 382,072 equals a percentage: 54.87%. Interesting. I was sort of disappointed about a few winners. One especially troubling for me was the marijuana bill. So now it will be legal. Darn.

I was never a user, never will be. I don't believe in drugs, never will. I don't think it is a good idea. But then there are a lot of folks who use it for medical reasons, and that has been allowed for years. But lots of folks have the idea that this will bring in a ton of cash for the state and the schools and other worthy causes. I think it may cause more trouble. Time will tell.

We're in for another winter storm, or so they are warning. Saturday night a storm is forecast, wind and snow. But then it is November so bring it on. Again, I have nowhere to go. I am safe and sound in my little house. Last time I went skiing around town. I hope to do that again. Such fun.

I keep checking the news to see if there is any final tally on the Presidential race. And all I get it smoke and mirrors. Talking heads. Perhaps we'll find out something by January.
