I Voted, Did you?



I voted today.

Um, no one told me there would be, what, about 9 people running for President. I voted for the person that I thought best for the job, John McCain.

31 states have started the practice of early voting, which lightens the load for the 1st Tuesday in November. I think that is wonderful. I walked right into the court house today (because I was way to busy last week to vote early), there were no lines, all electronic and cast my ballot, all within a 5 minute period. I believe it took me longer to find a parking place than it did to vote.

I called my dad and told him that I had voted Democrat (wondering if he would write me out of his will). He said..."Yeah, sure you did. And I'm sure you voted Green and all that". Gees, I can't even joke with him. He takes this stuff seriously ALL THE TIME, I mean we are allowed to kid around every once and a while.

Some of you might be wondering how the political talk is with certain co-workers and myself. SURPRISINGLY the political talk has died down until today. NOW, we are all about what's going to happen after midnight tonight. How stupid was I to think that once we voted this would all go away.

I might just get the old juices flowing this afternoon (I'm feel like living on the edge) and mention that I think that Bush has decided that he finally has enough money to retire on...and that's why the gas prices have dropped. That kind of statement usually gets my ear chewed at least for 2 hours non stop!
