Tom Petty...Runaway Trains

How are my fellow Montanans faring today? ETA: And, other friends from red states

who are feeling beat up...

Mental health check in if you feel up to it. I'm tired...I know you all must be too. I can't believe our results. Weed passes but none of our incredible candidates get elected? We have a thug for a governor now. What a tough day this is.

I'm thinking of you all and appreciate every single one of you.

Incredible turnout here in Missoula, MT.

The line out the door of the main Elections Office to vote goes as far as as I can see...it winds down the street, around the block and down a pedestrian path. This is only one of the places to vote in town. I drove past two ballot drop off points and they are well staffed and cars are bumper to bumper for blocks. There are several park and ride places where you can leave your vehicle and take the city bus to the polls. I followed one of the buses on my way to work and there were quite a few folks riding. Everyone is masked and socially distant. I'm thrilled to see this and I'm happy it is sunny and 43 degrees. A week ago we had 10" of snow on the ground. I hope everyone who can vote will have the opportunity to get it done today.

When will Bill Barr emerge from his den?

He is awfully quiet these days...
