I had to send my espresso machine (a very blue state sort of thing to own) to New York for repair. It's been repaired, and now, ups tracking number in hand, I get to watch my machine slowly work it's way back home in the (blue) northwest. (It's currently in Ohio.) The election gave me a whole new perspective. I envision the machine in a stage coach going through hostile territory. At least if they capture it, they won't know what to do with it.
