     then – Yellow- Green – Purple.
     got them – with just the 1 X

     And – Wordle in 3 – just like Paulie.

   Anyone who wants to see all the pics from the tree removal, here they are:

   They did not finish until about 8:30 last night, I could NOT believe they were chainsawing in the dark! You can see that the tree was completely hollow inside, that thing could’ve come down at any time. The crane totally ruined the sidewalk which we paid thousands of dollars to put in two years ago. I’m pretty pissed about that, not at the tree company or anything, just mad in general. But very glad the tree is down. And the best part: no acorns falling on the roof right over our bedroom!

     wow – that’s a big rotted tree.
     Bummer about the sidewalk.

     Wow….big tree. Amazing what the tree guys can do. I think my tree in the front has to be hollow inside…so many ant hills at the base.

     Wow, I almost failed Connections, there were so many possibilities: X > Yellow > X > X > Blue > Green > Purple.

   I thought I was going to get Wordle in two since I had the first three letters in my first word….but no….there were so many options for the last two. Managed to eke it out in 6. Perfect connections: B, G, Y, P. Strands was a bust.

   VOTING – DONE!!!!
   Line was barely a line – took 10 minutes total.
   There are more workers than there are people voting.
   But- the one lady said – yesterday was a different story.
   Record # of people voted on the 1st day.
   (that’s why we went today)

     I saw on FB that there was record early voting, which was surprising to me considering that in 2020 I waited well over an hour in line to vote early one day. I think I may go on Friday afternoon.

   I got Wordle in 3 as well starting with GRATE, should have been 2 though.

   Super lazy yesterday so did nothing, I need to at least go for a walk today. Tonight is bowling so won’t be able to get a ride in.

   We early-voted at Emory Conference Center.
   Free parking in the deck.
   “Overly” organized.
   15 minutes in and out.

   Win, lose or draw…I’m done with this one!
