Now that we might be starting to have some cooler temperatures (oh please!) it is time for some yummy coffee add-ins as we linger over our coffee longer on these cooler mornings. Kahlua has added to their lineup with 2 new flavors: Salted Caramel and Chili Chocolate. Those are not just delish in morning coffee, of course, they are also dynamite in anything that regular Kahlua goes in. Also delightful straight sippin' or on the rocks. We have both in stock. Right now, we have a 20% off sale while supplies last. Don't delay, you definitely do not want to miss out on this one!

And as always - Please Drink Responsibly

Mail ballots have been sent and mine arrived today. I intend to vote IMMEDIATELY by following these steps.

+Read the instructions included and on the envelopes

+Take the ballot out of the package and mark it. +Carefully color with dark ink in the ovals next to candidates I want to vote for.

+Put the marked ballot in the WHITE ballot envelope and seal that.

+Put the sealed white ballot envelope inside the YELLOW carrier envelope and seal that.

+Sign my best signature in the red box on the back of the yellow carrier envelope. That signature gets compared to the one on file to prove your ballot is yours. It will get scanned by optical scanner and reported in the Early Voting on Election Day.

+Put the carrier envelope and all its precious cargo back in the mail.

I trust the mail! After all, I get bills and junk I’ve ordered in the mail every day, smooth as silk. And I know my ballot was mailed to me just in the last couple of days. But I know it takes time sometimes, that’s why I’m voting as soon as I can.

If you want to deliver your ballot in person take it to Lora Nusbaum at 203 Nth 7th St, Alpine. Best to call before you come at 432-837-6230. Bring your ID with you to prove that is your ballot. Don’t bring anyone else’s ballot as we have to deliver our own. You can do that at any time up until Election Day Nov 3rd, but the sooner the better.

If you believe you have requested a mail ballot and you have not received it by the end of next week, in Brewster County call Lora Nussbaum at 432-837-6230.
