General busy-ness

* Indexing stamp mounts, 108 last night, another dozen tonight

* catching up on paying bills

* voting by absentee ballot. We went to City Hall, filled out the absentee ballot forms, filled out the ballots. They go into an envelope, which goes to out polling place and gets checked off the same way we would if we voted in person.

* gathering equipment for nature printing (really, Arlene was doing all that. She says all the stuff I need is packed)

* That doesn’t sound all that busy, but the indexing took time.

* Say, are you aware of “passport cards”? They look like a driver’s license, but work as a passport for surface travel (drive or go by boat) to places that you didn’t used to need a passport for — Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Bermuda. We had to apply for passports, and got passport cards in addition. I figure, carry it all the time, and if we decide to go to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia or Quebec on the spur of the moment, we’re all set.
