I turned away from screens at 6:05pm last night when Indiana went for the Republican candidate. This was not an unexpected result, but it was a reminder that no amount of information will change any results at that point.
A glance at my phone in the wee hours revealed the proabable outcome of the election.
My home state even voted FOR gerrymandering! (Admittedly, the wording of that amendment was SUPER DECEPTIVE.)
But anyway.
A novel I’d been eyeing was ready at the bookstore (The Midnight Library, if you’re curious). I carried it over to the diner down the block and enjoyed a sandwich at a table by the front window.
It was good light for cracking open a book.
Before leaving The Park Diner that afternoon, I went to wash my hands and was delighted to find a gallery of dogs in the restroom.
Unrelated, the best way to experience today’s soundtrack is to put the lyric video on in the background and not pay attention for a bit. Open up a new tab. Go grab a glass of water. Look through a book shelf. Take your coat from the chair and hang it on a hook. Or just regard these doggos for a little bit. But come back to the song.
