The Vote Is Cast

It could have been worse. I was in line a little after 6:00 a.m. - after hunting a parking space for at least ten minutes! The well monitored and well directed line was a serpentine type so as many people as possible were under cover and not getting soaked from the predicted all-day rain. Total voting time was about an hour and forty-five minutes. Then it was off to Starbucks for my free cup of coffee and then home to put my foot up for a while before going to work.

Traffic in our area is heavy, especially so around polling places.

Nurse J called to check on me and said it took her less than an hour to vote. She goes to a different location.

Golfer voted early/absentee since he's on a TDY trip. In Virginia, we don't have "early" voting but just absentee. Bikini says she and Brief voted early in Georgia. Our relatives in Ohio can also vote early if they choose.

Don't let this discourage anyone from heading to the polling places. Go vote! (unless you're for the other candidates!) :) Like they say - if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain! Onward!
