My Apologies!

I have to apologize for the outcome of yesterday's election. I don't know what has become of the American people to return a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator to the highest office in the land. It's inexplicable! It's like there is a madness that has overtaken a significant portion of our population. The coming years are going to be tough. So we are all going to have to be extremely brave and fight every day for what we know is right, and good, and true. 

BIG DAY!!!

BIG DAY!!! LET'S GO DO THIS!!! 

As previously mentioned, I'm pending today at the polls, helping voters cast their ballots. You know, among other things, checking people in, making sure they're properly registered, making sure they're at the right polling location, and, of course, watching to make sure they feed their completed ballots correctly into the OpenElect Voting Optical Scan (OVO), which is the way we do it in my precinct. And, like everyone else, I'll be anxiously awaiting the end result of this election.

Well, folks, I'll be at the polls tomorrow well before dawn in order to greet folks as they arrive to vote beginning at 6 a.m. I don't expect to be home again until . . . well, who knows when. More than 40% of the registered voters in my precinct have already voted, suggesting that we well may be heading toward a record turnout for a presidential election. 

Will we know the result before I get home? Not likely, given our multiple time zones in the States. More likely, the race will be called in the wee hours of Wednesday morning when I HOPE to be fast asleep in bed. :-)
