The elections in March are party primaries to winnow down the number of candidates for each race the November general election. Who knows, there could be May runoffs if no one gets 50% in the primaries. Ranked choice voting sounds like a rational approach to save time and money so it will never happen here in Texas.

Congratulations on finding someone who wants to work with wood for your cabinets!

Getting an appointment for the Sears-affiliated repair guy to came out was quick this time but my whole afternoon tomorrow is dedicated to waiting for him to arrive in the 1-5pm window. That will be just the beginning, because chances are the part won't be in the service van (or a new washer will have to be ordered if the repair is too high and he totals my machine).
