568 pages of it. Here’s your reward for waking up this fine Monday:
In a nutshell, it says, “blah, blah, need more money, blah.”
Seriously, of interest (to someone) may be the “notes” from page 294:
Thanks, Q.
If that’s too much reading, then, here:
Thank you, Legs Network.
Carry on.

As we close out 2016, here’s a look back at a few posts from the last 12 months. I’ve done nearly 600 this year alone. Some were excellent. Others were … a little less. Some I thought would be hits, flopped. Some came out of nowhere and surprised me. A little blog history:
January. Half Day Snow Day.
February. The Old Man’s Guide to the Gym.
March. Death at the Academy.
April. A Den of Vipers and Thieves.
May. FDA ASSAULTS CIGAR INDUSTRY.
June. The Battle of Orlando – connected to – My Name is I Pledge of Allegiance…
July. Death of a Facebook Friend. This might have been my highest trafficked article of the year, at least by initial views. And just something I wrote on a whim.
August. Come Out of the Churches, Thou Unclean Spirits.
September. Mapping The Real Vote.
October. The Time I Met Reagan.
November. Ohio State Terrorist Attack Highlights Need For Guns On Campus.
December. Maybe The Russians Are Not THEIR Friends.
And that should be a wrap for 2016.
Next year will be fantastic. See you then.

For what it’s worth, tonight you can use Politico’s Election Results tracking tools.
They break the count down by state and by county in addition to the electoral totals.
They also cover:
The Ballot Measures are interesting to watch as they are, mostly, barometers of how the voting public view various freedoms. MJ is on the ballot in numerous states as is the right to work, the right to hunt, school initiatives, and other matters.
Another curiosity is the wide gap between party choices in different states. Most states offer: Dems, Repub, Libertarians, and Greens. Georgia and a few other backwards states only offer the first three. Some have an array of choices. I think the record is something close to 20.
Polls begin to close at 6 PM EST, cascading from East to West. The last polls in the Pacific region close around 11. During this time the counts will begin. Grab some popcorn or a hammer or something. In keeping with my September electoral call, I still predict a Trump presidency. Not a Trumpslide, but not that close either.
We’ll know for sure tomorrow barring the return of the hanging chads.
Stay tuned for that totally unrelated fun story a little later this evening.
Cheers,
Perrin

Happy May Day. Forget the roots, green or red. I’m happy just to sip coffee and watch bees buzzing around the boxwoods.
Wiki.
I’m going to try to do a post each and every day this month – hopefully a little more insightful than this one though. Next month marks the four-year anniversary of the blog and may see my 500th post.
Have a wonderful spring day, friends.
