Setting aside the very obvious fact that it's bad that extremists are now setting vote-by-mail drop boxes on fire, this is a reminder that if you do vote by mail, you should check online to make sure that your ballot has been accepted.

Jimmy Pastore captured this shot of a #comet named C/2023 Ag Tsuchinshan-ATLAS this evening. NASA says from Oct. 14 to Oct. 26 is the best time to observe the comet but today and tomorrow are the best to see it at its brightest. #Tucson
