today was Election Day…

was at the polling station ten minutes before it opened as I was trying to vote and get to work on time…

when I arrived I checked my information to be sure I was at the correct location because there wasn’t a single car in the lot or any signs… at five to the cars started to pull in and filled the parking pad… shortly after that a person came out and put up a sign advising that this was a polling station…

waited until 8:01, only to discover about 15 people lined up inside… the door didn’t open for another few minutes… often the first people are guinea pigs as the various workers figure what to do, sigh… bit of that this morning…

finally got out and headed to work… would have been on time except for the lights all flashing red along Portage…

miss my beloved on days like this… voting was something we always did together…
