It took me all of about 60 seconds to vote. There were 20 cars in the lot but they must have belonged to the people manning tables by the roadside and the dozen or so folks working for the precinct. It seemed a bit overstaffed to say the least. I showed them my ID, noticed DH had voted earlier (#112), got my card (#306, I didn't realize there were 300 people in my precinct, let alone they would have voted already) and made my 3 choices (we only had President, Senator and Representative to elect this time. No bond issues or anything). It took me longer to tweet about it than it did to do it.
I hadn't realized Nader had made it onto the ballot here, nor that the Constitution Party candidate, Chuck Baldwin, had made it either (and why are they listed as Independent Greens?) They managed to put someone up for Senator as well.
Then I went and got a bacon chili cheese dog, which took much longer to get than it did vote. You want to talk lines? Stop by the General Store at lunch time.
But the really really big news is this:
While taking Mayhem to the bus stop I passed the UPS truck headed toward my house. I very nearly made a U-turn and chased after him. But I stuck to my duty to get the kid on the bus and go vote.
Looky what the Big Brown Truck of Joy left for me
My long anticipated and saved for, DSLR! The battery is charging now and I'm getting ready to read the manual instead of reading blogs.
The orange light is supposed to flash while the battery is charging, right?
