Unless you’ve been living in hole on Mars for the past 6 months, you know today is the end of a giant race. I am not going to wax on about how the race is close, and what we are trying to win, etc. All I really want to post about is my excitement that so many people seem to be voting today. It’s great. My polling place is a senior home across the street from my building and is usually staffed with senior residents. They can be a bit on the slow side when it comes to checking your name off the list. But that does not account for the huge line that ran 2 or more blocks this morning. I feel luckier than some New Yorkers though. I am dreading this evening. But I hope it is all decided tonight. So it takes a shitty president launching an even shittier war to get people out to the polls (yeah, I am saying it. So what? It’s my blog and my opinion). At least we’re getting out there.
