This is what Jules called Francois after Francois was the only one able to fix the lever on Jules' broken bike.

I received my absentee ballot a few days ago. Today, I let Kim, a Canadian, vote for our candidate of choice. I hosted a brief ceremony during which I deemed her a temporary member of the United States for voting purposes, then she proudly filled in the circle on my ballot. (FYI, absentee ballots don't need to arrive for awhile; mine just has to be postmarked by tomorrow.) I started a brief campaign called "You, too, can be an American Citizen." It was a hit.
