Folks, it's time to get your application for absentee ballot in. First, make sure you're registered. The Georgia Secretary of State provides that information to you at this link.

Then, go to your county's elections webpage and request your absentee ballot. For example, I live in Gwinnett County, and if I wanted an absentee ballot, I would go to this webpage.

If you are able, pick your ballot up at your county election office. New reporting shows that there is going to be more malfeasance by the United States Postal Service than previously expected. This article outlines some of the issues whistleblowers have raised.

If you aren't able to pick up the ballot, please try to plan to drop it off at a county-monitored drop box. Do not put it into a mailbox or give to your mail carrier! One of the things that jumped out to me from the whistleblower reports is that the postal service will not deliver any ballot if there is a discrepancy between the information the USPS has and what is on the ballot envelope. So for example, in my case, my voter registration is in my full name, first, middle and last, because that's how it is on my driver's license. But the postal service has only my first and last name. Thus, my ballot would not be delivered because the name doesn't match their records.

Think of any mail you've received with misspellings. Think of how you've put your name on USPS change of address forms. If you use informed delivery, does that match your voter registration? All of these minor issues could put your important vote at risk.

Your vote has power or they wouldn't try so hard to prevent you from voting. I know it's difficult to believe because our country's politics have been such a mess for so long. But it's true. They would not spend so much time and money on making it more difficult for people to vote. Like messing with the mail. Like requiring that after check-in, every single voter's name be handwritten on a single piece of paper so that lines grow discouragingly longer.

I want Democrats to vote. I want Republicans to vote. I want Independents to vote. I want everyone who is eligible to vote. But the current administration does not want you to vote. Our state board does not want you to vote.

You have power. I implore you to use it and please vote.

I received this flyer in the mail today from Georgia Power. Is this something we can all be hopeful about?

I guess there were no clouds at all over my work parking lot all day - this was after 5:45 pm

biggest number I've seen this summer !

Looking for some Marine Grade Plywood around the metro ATL/northern part of the state (but I don’t mind driving for it either). Doesn’t anyone know of any shops or vendors who sell it? Everywhere I have checked claims they don’t carry it any longer because the demand isn’t there. Thanks in advance!

Or generally things to do, I’m going to be in the Stone Mountain area and would love some breakfast, lunch and dinner recommendations. Not trying to break the bank, just looking for “in the know” kind of places.

Thanks

Does anyone have a go to liquidation store for appliances? Been looking for a French door fridge one around 1k, but have been striking out. The places I’ve gone to will knock $50 down the retail. Looking for a bigger deal if I’m going down this direction.

Thanks!
