America Delivered

It’s a Boy. 

Total Electoral College Votes 540 
Electoral College Votes to win 270 
Trump 277 
Kamala 224 
Yet to be Declared 39 

Trump elected 47th President of United States despite all the TV Networks (except Fox News), all the print newspapers, and the entire Hollywood movie industry against him. Congratulations Donald. 

(Sarcasm). Now that Trump is elected, the borders will be closed and all illegal immigrants will be deported. No unemployment in USA. Dow Jones (stock market) will rise by 10,000 points. Milk and honey will now flow in the streets of San Francisco. The Russia-Ukraine war and the Middle East war will end immediately. On hearing Trump’s victory, Putin, Xi Jinping and the Ayatollah are shaking in their boots.

All In A Day

It happened today. 

I take 2 medicines daily. I got my refill on October 17 but could not find it in my house. I must have misplaced or lost. Therefore, I went to my Pharmacy and asked for replacement. The Pharmacist told me my “renewal” is due end of December because I got my 90-day refill supply only on October 17. I told her I cannot find my medicines at home. 

The pharmacist said she will call my insurance company and tell them the situation and ask for an “override” – that means giving me another 90 day supply without asking me to pay the full price. (Under my insurance, I do not pay anything for my medicines.) 

She called. She came to me and said the insurance company wants you to call them personally and explain the situation. 

Since I had my cellphone with me, I called the insurance company right away. A lady answered. I explained that I misplaced my medicine I got on October 17 and I need a refill right now. I got a reply in a sweet southern accent. 

“I understand honey. I misplace my medicines sometime. Please hold on for a few minutes”.

I was holding on for about 10 minutes listening to the boring recorded music. Then she came on the line and said “honey, your override request is approved. You go to the pharmacy and get your medicines. Anything else I can help you with today?” 

I said thanks a lot. (I wanted to say thanks a lot honey. But since I am not from the southern part of USA this “honey” stuff does not come to me automatically.)

I Voted Today

I voted today. 

Though the official voting day is next Tuesday, November 5, almost all states allow early voting either in person or by mail. In my area in California, the voting place opened on October 26. But all votes will be counted after close of business on November 5. 

Ballot information were available in several languages. See the photo below. There are a few languages from India. 


After I voted, they gave a sticker that said “I Voted”. It is also in a few languages including Hindi. 



 Will wait for November 5 to know the results.
