I left home this (technically yesterday) afternoon, voted, picked up my cleaning and went to visit a friend. When I came back around 10:30 tonight (last night), all of the accursed election signs on my street were gone. Gone. Vanished with nary a trace. Even the two that had appeared in the front lawn were missing. Just thinking about this sends sparks of glee through my spine and out to my fingers as they share my happiness with the world. Better than even this discovery, however, was the announcement I heard on the radio a few minutes before arriving home: that Mike Rounds had defeated Steve Kirby and Mark Barnett in the Republican gubenetorial race. Finally, a worthy Republican candidate! There's more on the absolute upset in an article from the Argus Leader.

On a sandwich-related tangent, Pauly's has a web page! They even have a couple of expired coupons you can download! Pauly's, a little sub shop/deli downtown, has always been a major part of my Rapid City life; I've shared a good many tasty sandwiches and soups with friends there over the years. It's nice to see them online, even in such rudimentary form.

Random thoughts for the night: yes, I work. In Keystone. All hail Representative Janklow. And make sure to choose Zpoc for all your Christian music pirating needs.
