election action

1. Made a twin-sized banner telling people when Washington's polls are open and how to find out where their polling place is. Hung it out on the chain-link fence by the off-ramp. (Was going to hang it down over the highway, but it required weighting and I couldn't make it safe enough to satisfy myself.)

2. Volunteering with Move On tomorrow from 9 to 5. Not sure yet what that involves, except not studying for my bio exam, but the election's more important.

3. Making a post about why the Bush administration is a disaster. This has been in the works for a long time. For an early look at many of my talking points, please see Respectful of Otters.
