On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan are joined by Monica, an actual Presidential Elector for Harris this year, who talks about that experience. In between the usual curmudgeonly tangents of course. Then she sticks around and all three of them discuss everything from the government shutdown brinkmanship, to the wonders of food delivery. Enjoy!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan and Sam start out with some personal stress points and some random tech discussion before settling down to a bit more shaking out from the CEO killing and the issues surrounding that. Very little about New Jersey drones and Syria. Sorry!
