Saying no to blackmailers

I'm going to go vote against the whole shebang of propositions in a minute.
Then I'm going to go keep my mouth shut about it for nine hours while helping other people vote, and that's a half-day shift.

Dog will be upset, but oh well.

The battery arrived for my phone today and so it works again, which means that the poor tech who had to take the brunt of my frustration was right to suggest I take the gamble of buying a new battery without knowing for sure if that was the problem with the phone.
