Have you done your duty?
Well--
Thanks to W's car being nearly disemboweled (Or so it seems -- we're going on two weeks, here, and you know the Honda people are REALLY embarrassed, to say the least) my going to Dallas for a convention and then folding for two days, and other delights of the end of February, we didn't make it to the polls until today. I was still reading about the candidates' ideas (in their own words, of course, plus bloggers' observations...) so that suited me.
Except for the hour wait to vote. W tried over at the hospital, but that location was closed. Randall's had a line at 12:30...and so on.... Finally I picked up W at four, and we went to vote. He decided to come with me, so all we have Tuesday is the caucus at night. Once inside, one of the poll workers said it had been like that all day.
I deprived W of his nap before dancing, so I may have to abort on Odd Friday -- or at least not dress up. But getting into a sari takes time (at least for me, without other sari wearers there to kibbutz.) Fair is fair.
I hope you all have done your duty as citizens of a free nation and gone to vote. Remember -- you have no right to complain, if you didn't vote. And if you are not yet registered, WHY NOT? If you haven't noticed, things are weird and getting weirder. What direction do you want this country to go in? And if you don't vote, how do you think it's going to happen?
