Now it's official

Booklaunch!

Official release date of DRAGON'S TEETH!

The Borders copies I signed must have been illusions. But my advice to buy early and often still stands.

Election Day (US)

Vote for the egotistical statist of your choice, but _vote_! If you don't vote, you aren't allowed to bitch.

Symbolism

Wife walked over to the school, voted, came home, and immediately washed her hands. Thoroughly.

She says at least she didn't puke in the voting booth.

One of the joys of living in the backwoods

I've seen mention of voter registration deadlines, of voter ID cards, and other such impediments to voting the bastards out. Or in, as the case may be.

In Maine, you can register at the polls on election day. For that, you need proof of residency and a valid photo ID. But since I'm already registered, I just walk in, give my name, the poll worker checks that against their list, and gives me a ballot. No ID required.

I think the general idea is, this place is small enough that somebody in the crowd will know if I give a name that ain't mine...
