Colorado has been mailing every voter a ballot for years, so this election process is not much different than normal for me: walk to the courthouse, drop it in the dropbox. Most of the people I saw on the sidewalk were not wearing masks, but everyone approaching or leaving the dropbox was.

I've never done it this early before: got the ballot on Saturday, dropped it off Monday. There were 21 candidates for President. None of them was Kanye. I did not bother to read up on any of the people on the ballot. This year, I am a party line voter. I did have to read about all the amendments and propositions. I thought Colorado had already joined the pact to obviate the Electoral College, but the pact's opponents got enough signatures to put a veto referendum on the ballot. I had to triple check: a yes vote means agreeing to join the pact. There were also tax shenanigans, gambling, gray wolves, abortion.

Air quality is a bit better, covid-19 infection rate is getting worse fast. There are four black bears raiding gardens and garbage in my neighborhood, but I haven't seen any of them.
