I Voted

With the election a week away, I still had plenty of time to mail my ballot. This morning while drinking tea and reading the paper, I discovered that the election was today, not next Tuesday. It's not easy going through life ditsy.

It was too late to vote by mail, so plan B was to vote in person. There was just one problem, I threw out the paper with the address of the polling place on it.

Plan C was to get in my car and slowly drive around my neighborhood looking for a sign. It was small and way too discrete, but I found the sign at a local school. Getting out of my car, I followed the signs. It was harder than it sounded because some of the arrow signs were spinning in the wind.

Once I found it, there was a new wrinkle. Their records showed that I was voting by absentee ballot. They took my word for it that I didn't send in my ballot and let me vote in person.

They were surprised to have a Democrat voting. Apparently, my neighbors are Republican. Considering the modest nature of my neighborhood, that took me by surprise. I associate rich people with being Republican. Anyway, I'm glad that I got to vote. I want Hillary to be our next president and Obama to be vice president. If you voted differently, that is an example of one of the great things about this country. We get to vote for our leaders, with the exception of the Bush-Gore election.
