"Election Day"

We voted tonight.

The whole thing only took about an hour. Not too bad considering that we had a record turnout this year.

In Orange County, we use electronic voting. Not the infamous Diebold touch-screen voting machines, but a computer deal with a 8-1/2" X 11" color LCD screen. It was piece of cake to use. I liked it, Cyn doesn't trust it. We had the option to use paper to vote, but they ran out of envelopes, so everyone was forced to use the electronic machines.

Now, one of the reasons I like to vote is to "people watch."

We're obviously in an ubergeek district. Bill Gates-esque hair, coke-bottle glasses, belt-clip keyrings with way too many keys, and pocket protectors. And he was morbidly obese. Yes, that was just the guy behind me! LOL

The "School Marm" was the funniest. She was in her late 40's and had a scowl that would scare Frankenstein's monster! I swear that if she even tried to smile, her face would have cracked right off!

Lessee, the people running the polling place. A man as old as Methuselah, a young man and woman, and a Russian. Real nice people. Everything ran smooth. Ya signed in and got a paper with a number on it. A poll worker at the end of the table waited till a booth opened, gave you an access code, ya voted and got the Hell out.

Right now, we're listening to the election results on our 1939 Farnsworth Low-Boy radio. Kinda neat listening to this stuff on a 65 year old radio!
