Election day.
November 7, 2006Rainy, rainy, rainy day here today. J says that’s not good for the Democrats, but we hope not. I voted this morning. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t educate myself about any of the races, except the DA’s race, so I did the old “that name sounds like the name of a competent civil servant worthy of my vote.” My voting experience was a bit odd actually. Our ballot was an oversized piece of cardstock like paper which we were given along with a ball point pen. We could stand in one of those voter booths to color in the bubbles besides the names of the people we wanted to vote for, but most people were sitting at tables filling out their ballot. You could vote straight party ticket for the first part of the ballot which included the DA race, which I did. Anybody in there who was familiar with the ballot could’ve been able to tell with a glance who somebody had voted for. After coloring in the bubbles, you handed it to a lady who fed it through the machine. I’m pretty sure that she could probably tell you how Mike*Nifong was doing among the voters at that particular polling place. I don’t know what she would do with that information, except maybe relay it to the campaigns.
In other news. . .
Both boys are sick now. Made a trip to the pediatrician this morning because Daniel woke up with a nasty, wet cough and having a hard time catching his breath. He’s OK, but started on an antibiotic. To add insult to injury, they got their flu shots while we were there.
