I VOTED!

I'm back in the District, as of Saturday evening.

I'd planned to vote yesterday, but my ankle was still swollen from flying and it was raining. Today is high winds, but a beautiful clear sky. I think I'm a little insulted that Google thought it would take me a whole seven minutes to get to my polling station. I made it from my apartment to the polls, voted, and returned home in under 30 minutes. I wore a hat from my Dad to my polling place because I wanted him to participate.

For neotoma -- remember the kid who made it onto the school board in 2016. The one you said had charisma +1000? I had the privilege of voting for him, Markus Batchelor, for an at-large seat on the City Council. I plan to vote for him as the first governor of Douglass Commonwealth, if he keeps up the good work.

I've been wanting to write this for awhile. Some of it, maybe most, is common knowledge, but these were things I noticed while we were reacting to my father's death.

PRACTICALITIES:

First of all, Dad had a binder with those clear protective coverings. Inside each sheet was a document, original when he had it, validated copy when he didn't. As he was military, the single most important document was his DD-214. With it, we were able to confirm that he could be buried in a military cemetery. The military covers so many of the costs associated with a funeral, like the headstone, the actual burial, and the plot. We ended up paying only $4000 for all of the other things associated with the funeral.
The rest is under the cut. )
