The invitation for quality time with big bro and the need to finish some papers mean that I'm not going to be around for end of day voting.

On a topic that isn't my own vote, I give everybody permission to kill me if it is so desired.  I won't hold a grudge.
 
After all, this 
could be a bluff (to which degree, I wonder?).  You won't know until I'm dead.  But I can be very helpful if you give me the benefit of the doubt for a few more days.  I hope everybody chooses wisely.  Now... I'm going fishing and paper writin'.
