Postcards: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Matter

Plus, the great yogurt standoff of 2024 in the Florida Republic.

Dear Fellow Expat:

Last night, a major standoff went down in the Florida Republic.

A 3’10” munchkin stood at the open freezer door.

“Who ate the Chocolate Chip bars?” my daughter asked, peering into the boxes.

She took one of the remaining two yogurt “popsicles” in the box and ran to her mother. “Did you eat one of those treats?” she asked.

Her mother denied it.

I’d just entered the room.

Quickly, I told her: “I ate one of them.” And before she asked why, I answered, “I bought them at the store and brought them home.”

Ah… a sudden realization: So that’s where all of these magical deserts come from. 

With that, what felt like a Quinten Tarantino-style Mexican standoff over frozen yogurt and ice cream began. Once they appear in the freezer… who gets to eat them?
