poaching, mail-in ballots, and dump fees

Today we scheduled a day off after deciding that we were too worn out to do anything sensible. All I learned was that we in the West are developing a poaching problem and that some Tucsonans are freaked out by the concept of voting by mail. Also that it costs $10 to take a living-roomful of carpet pad to the city dump, so despite taking a day off, I guess we did something.
