Wake up everybody! Grab your marking pen or chad remover, it's voting day today!
Of course, it's not actually voting day for me yet. I am writing this the day before voting day. But I am at the front desk of my library looking out upon a nearly two-hour line for the last day of early voting. These are people who have decided to get in a two-hour line because they think it will be worse tomorrow!
I'm voting tomorrow.
Or today, by your reckoning.
Or 34 years ago if you're reading this for your doctoral thesis on obscure blogs of the twenties.
And if, as I am voting tomorrow, I encounter three or four-hour lines, I am going to be super impressed by all these clever people and their visionary foresight. But if I'm in and out voting in less than an hour tomorrow I'll, I'll...
Try to remain humble.
My favorite joke to make during the tumult of the massive voting disruption at my library is:
"If you vote for the right person you won't have to worry about doing this ever again!"
Ha!

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
