Ritter Sport is German, and I have German tastes in chocolate, I suppose.

I had the white chocolate version once. Don't think I've seen it in a while.

Re: Toblerone: Never saw the appeal. I'd rather have a Ritter Sport Marzipan, personally.

@kdfrawg My prediction is based on having a clear result in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania by 5 PT/8 ET.

I'm actually in a Bernie hotbed. He had a rally less than a mile from my house, and there are still a lot of Bernie supporters hereabouts. But western Ventura County is more working-class and predominantly Democratic, so that's not entirely surprising. The east county is wealthier, Reagan country (and home of his presidential library), and very Republican.

OK, going dark for a few hours to get stuff done. Today is just going to be a lot of bloviating until the polls close anyway.

I've seen a bunch of Hillary and Bernie bumper stickers, but only 2-3 for Trump. Very few yard signs of any kind, but mostly for Bernie (still) except for the Trump guy down the street.

There's a special mailbox outside. I always go after hours.

Anyway, on my way home yesterday I did see a big demonstration going on at the intersection where the courthouse is. One of the busiest intersections in Ventura, and demonstrators on all four corners. Not for Trump or Clinton or Johnson or Stein--they were all urging a yes vote on a local school bond issue.

There might be hope yet.

I voted by mail last week. Sure-fire way to avoid polling place nonsense.

Along with the rest of the world, I'm sure.
