Irrelevent

I may revise my position.  The system may not be broken.  If the republican congress can shift out of the obstructionist mode some governing may actually get done in the next few years.  If not then I was right, the government doesn't work, as the republicans have been trying to prove for some time now.

How would you like to be a voter in the great state of Florida?  First you stand in line for hours to get to mark an incredibly lengthy and complicated ballot, then you find out that the results won't be tabulated until the next morning.  But don't fret, the rest of the country decided without you, so your vote is completely irrelevant.  Now you know how it felt to live and vote in Alaska.

It cooled off here, down to the low forties at night.  They say we might even see some snow this week.

I decided the clamp/lumber rack wasn't working so I cut it down to below the table saw height and put the clamps on the wall.  Much better.

Here is a twelve drawer kit.  Got three sheets of MDO sign board plywood for my shop drawers and cut them into parts.

Will work on assembly over the next few weeks.

Stay warm.
