You apologize for the convenience of not hitting refresh five times an hour?

What else will people do when standing in these early voter lines?

It’s like you’re swinging around the dark side of the moon…

See you on the other side.

The tech team is setting the clock back regarding the end of DST.

I’ll be doing that later tonight. I forget every single time. Ugh.

=not hitting refresh five times an hour?=
5 times an hour??? Try 5 times a minute!

Comment by Refresh Monday, Nov 5, 18 @ 6:57 pm
Good to see I’m not the only one who hits refresh approximately continuously.

Anyway, we appreciate your work to make Election Day run smoothly for the @capitolfax gang.

It’ll be real, that’s for sure.

Batten down the Cap Fax hatches, expand the memory and prepare for a troll outbreak. Good luck, we’re depending on you to feed our election fix.

Apparently this blog gives its fans so many squirts of dopamine per hour that it should, perhaps, be registered as an addictive substance.

Are you expecting the FBI to arrest the governor tomorrow?

Comment by Anonymous Monday, Nov 5, 18 @ 8:33 pm
Anonymous 8:33 - Thank you. That was my question - Rich Miller, do you expect greater traffic than the day Blago was arrested?

Comment by Anyone Remember Monday, Nov 5, 18 @ 9:10 pm
Part of the thing about the Blago arrest was that it was out of the blue. Yes there was an ongoing investigation and many of us had been predicting it for two years, but there was no reason to think it would happen that day.

I remember I didn’t even check the news before getting in the car and my wife had NPR on when the announced it and all of a sudden I was trying to figure out what was happening for the entire 5 minute commute because I couldn’t wait.

I thought it WOULD be a convenience to not have to refresh CapFax every 30 seconds today. But now I’m getting withdrawal symptoms. Come back!

Meh. I’ve been called worse.

Happy Election Day.

Be well, - Ole Nelson - and - Al -…

Election Day is here, HBO is running a “Dad’s Home State” marathon, from Superstars to BTIA(tm) and all your favorite characters in between.

No place to spread your “wisdom” now that the Trib shut down it’s enlightened comment section?
