So I have a bunch places mid to west coast I'd like to go visit. But not much in the NE. What should I add to my list? I guess I should go to Boston - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:37 5
- Boston is high on my wishlist. I've realized I know US pre-history but not really anything more recent. Also D.C. -- nm - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 15, 12:40 1
  - I've been to DC, but it was a long time ago. I should go again. And to Philly. -- nm - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:44
- Providence RI is just a great town -- nm - decline Oct 15, 12:39
- If you like hiking, the White Mountains in NH. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 12:38 1
  - I like hiking to a degree. But I love pretty places to take pictures. -- nm - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:40
Caroline Guiliani (Rudy's daughter) "Please, Everyone, Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris." -- (link) - decline Oct 15, 12:37

Early voters breaking hard for Biden -- (link) - TWuG Oct 15, 12:20 16
- These are done deal votes or exit polling? -- nm - Qale Oct 15, 12:39
- Now they know they have to print more donny ballots, but sir, they are reporting 160% of registered voters -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 15, 12:37
- Yeah, I would say that our early voting crowd yesterday was definitely not 45-friendly. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 15, 12:37 4

    - In play! -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 15, 12:39
- I will challenge early votes and mail-in votes. -- nm - 45 Oct 15, 12:31

- thats hard -- nm - Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 15, 12:25
- we expect this though, right? bc trump voters think covid is a hoax? they're more happy to vote in person - amanda Oct 15, 12:23 5

  - yes -- nm - Pippy's Brew Oct 15, 12:32
  - Yeah -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 15, 12:31

    - Especially with covid. Not to be horrible, but trump voters waiting doubles that. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 15, 12:33

- I don't think any of those things will provide enough warmth to sit outside and eat in the winter in NY. -- nm - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:11 16
  - Some days certainly not, but NYC winter varies. Definitely not as cold overall as upstate -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 12:15 15
    - I've never been "upstate". I've been to Buffalo for a wedding and NYC when I was a kid. That's about all of my knowledge of NY. -- nm - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:20 10
      - That's upstate. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 12:23 9

        See? -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 12:37
        
        OK. People who live in the rest of NY state hate when you call it upstate. - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 12:28 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Psycor Killer Oct 15, 12:30
        
        pretty much everything outside of NYC is considered upstate -- nm - decline Oct 15, 12:27 1
