Happy Friday! If you're voting by mail, don't forget to return your ballots ASAP and [make sure you check what your state's guidelines are!](https://votesaveamerica.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) California's Ballot Trax just confirmed that mine was received and will be counted this morning!

I remember in the mid-90s, I had an English professor who loved Tab and he was on a listserv -- it was, again, 1996 -- where people shared where to source it. I thought of him today! (Although I could not remember his name.)
