We have an "open primaries/ranked choice" ballot measure this year which makes me grind my teeth. Why can't we just have a simple primary where you vote for your favorite candidate and whoever gets the most votes wins. Is that too simple? I'm really tired of being manipulated.

I enjoyed your spider bits. I've so loved my spiderly friends, I wrote lots of poems about them. Last October, I posted some of them if you'd care to check them out.

The JD Vance joke was a hoot. Bill Maher did a whole New Rules a couple of weeks ago based on the rumor that JD screws his couch. Come to think of it, we haven't heard from or seen JD in a couple of weeks. Wonder if there's a connection?

Your stories about Portland paint an entirely differnt picture of the city than what happened there a few years ago. Are the protesters still living in their little cop-free quadrant? Again, haven't heard from Antifa in a long time.

I'll be thrilled when this election and the aftermath is over. As you say, though, the outcome will affect us all for decades to come. Frankly, it scares me to death, no matter who wins. Hell's gonna be poppin'.

Great "web" content. Also, I couldn't help myself and had to see if Columbo had a first name. According to this IMDB entry <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1466074/faq/>, "Columbo's first name is never explicitly revealed in the series. However, when Columbo flashes his badge in the episodes 'Dead Weight' (Season 1 Episode 3), and 'Death Hits The Jackpot' (Season 10, Episode 4, during the gotcha scene at the end), the name Frank Columbo can clearly be seen on his ID card."

Yeah, I looked it up, too. But since his name is never overtly used, I thought I would run with that. You got me.
