Weekend Reading Vlog June 8-9

[@StudioLindsay]

Glad to hear reading has been really enjoyable! When I’m not feeling well, cleaning is one of the first things I cancel too. 😅

Cleaning, everyone's favorite to ditch :D

It's so good that you devote yourself to exercising Wiebke, and it shows too.👍 You're probably in better shape than most people half your age. So proud of you. And it really doesn't matter whether you run, walk, or cycle, as long as you do it regularly. As for voting, that's a tough one.🤔 For one thing, elections are always held on Tuesdays here, which is a working day for most folks. Having it on a Saturday like you do, makes more sense to me, or how about Saturday AND Sunday!!! Now there's an idea.💡

Thank you for your kind words as usual. 2 days would be harder to organize. I think you can go vote early in the town house after you got the postcard.

@@1book1review In addition to going to the voting booth and casting your vote there, we also have "mail-in ballots" which more and more people are taking the advantage of using, myself included. But, it doesn't come without it's own load of criticisms🙄

@@Boxer309 we do, too. But it is so much more effort for me than just going on the day.

In Canada we get postcard things that shows us where to vote. It's pretty easy here I think.

Oh I didn't know, thanks. I think those are super helpful.

In my experience with voting in the US, the ease and accessibility depends on each state. It’s unfortunate and could do with a lot of improvement.

[@1book1review]

Thanks for sharing. I can only rely on what we see on news and social media of course.

Like Lindsey said, the US voting system could be a lot better. Here where I live, we have early voting so I find it very convenient to find time to vote. Not every state has early voting which I find crazy. Like you, I also live close enough to walk to a voting site.

Early vote is such an easy option to make it more accessible and less stressful. Great that you have that option. Thanks for sharing.

I was only half listening as you talked about voting, but when you mentioned the whole, "Why would a county make it harder to vote," I was like, "Hey! You're talking about US. That's the U.S." Yeah, it's not great living in a place where they seem to not want us to actually vote.

Thank you for sharing, it really is tough. Hang in there.
