It's been a blast. The Ridge might forget me someday soon (we reporters tend to be nomadic types, especially at smaller papers) but I'll never forget the Ridge.

Edge of your seat stuff going on, I'm telling you!

Us Post reporters aren't going into work until 4 p.m. today, in order to put out a special Wednesday edition of The Post with election results for our subscribers.

I'll be updating this blog as much as possible throughout election night, so you'll want to be checking this out regularly.

That being said, along with offering tidbits on the nationwide and local races, there's two other elections I'll be keeping track of:

Illinois Governor: No, not the Democrat and Republican candidates--I want to know what's happening with write-in Tim Nieukirk. The blog of Ryan Sabalow of the Redding Record Searchlight pointed me in the direction of the "Get Nieuked" write-in campaign. I'm rooting for him.

Phoenix, Ore. Mayor: I want to see if Murray LaHue (no relation) pulls it off. It's such a rare last name here on the West Coast, I can't help it...

On a side note, if you're not keen on any of the governor candidates, show your displeasure by writing in Kelly Reed.

What was it? Well, some journalists hold the concept of neutrality so strongly they don't even vote.

Two days before the election, this is an issue I struggle with. Should I, as a journalist, forfeit my voting rights in order to maintain a presentation of neutrality to the public?

*Why does the Kristie's Law Web site go beyond the law itself--and other legislation related to police pursuit policy--and show the support for the death penalty by its creator(s)?

*Why did somebody at the very least claiming to be Candy Priano--Kristie's mother--post a link to the Kristie's Law Web site in The Post's online feedback, although I would imagine someone as close to the law as she would be would have known it wouldn't have applied in the crash that killed Kathryn Bogosian and Shayne Tinnel?

I headed toward the garden section where all the Halloween merchandise and signs had been just two days before when I was buying a clown mask, rainbow wig, plastic cleaver and fake blood. (don't ask)

But the Halloween signs were gone. In their place were not Thanksgiving signs, but signs about Christmas.

For some reason, ParadisePost.com's poll question wasn't updated from last week. But the new question, when it's updated, will be "Do you think law enforcement handled the Shayne Tinnel pursuit properly?"

Meanwhile, over at Magalia-based online scanner Web site TheNet411.net, the question being asked is more direct, "Should police pursuits be outlawed on the Ridge?"

Feel free to take part.

Nobody's going to be happy.

But, it's going to be on the tail end of this blog. For soon it wll be no more.

But, have you gotten your PG&E bill for October yet?

You're getting 15 percent off whatever you were charged in July. Here's PG&E's plan for this bill credit, filed with the California Public Utilities Comission.

Now, here's the interesting part for me. Because the only energy hog in my apartment is the air conditioning, my October bill is now $1.14.

I'm seriously considering writing the check, instead of utilizing another payment option. It's just The Dude in me.

But then there's ones that just get under your skin really bad.

I found one in a July press release from California's own Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Yeah, there is a town in that photo. I swear.
