The very nice absentee ballot application with a postpaid envelope with my name and voting history classification (“above average”) arrived with an envelope it wouldn’t fit in without folding. Is there a rule that discounts folded applications?

For the very first time in years, when driving through Cheshire, Ohio, I see that all the big chimneys and spires of the coal processing plant are blackened partway down them. I wonder if that’s because of a recent deregulation?

Damn, I hate being suspicious!
