Walked in, got my vote. Turns out they split up the previous single voting location into 6 different ones. After we voted (we got lucky in that our polling place didn't change), we passed 3 more polling places. All one right after another. The insanely monster lines they had during the primary pushed them to spread it out. Unlike a lot of the places we saw on the news this morning.
Honestly. To be frank and perfectly clear, i'm actually for the first time since I started voting, terrified that the candidate that I voted for today might not win. In the past I've always been on the side of "Hey it can't be that bad, we've got a good checks and balances government, the President can't mess it up too much." I guess the last eight years have changed my opinion.
So we voted. Free Ben and Jerry's Ice cream to voters. Going to see if that extends to underage dependents. And since the oldest had a bit of homework to do online, well it gave us an excuse register for NBX. 20th place. Sure like solo said there are about 40 Verge point guys who will get call ups, but at least I'm not too far behind Chabot and the rest of the non-verge point getters. So I'm multi-tasking, and writing and reading and helping the girls on the computer and what ever else and I see that Gwadzilla has a ben and jerry's graphic, and I read it. 5-8pm. Damn it. Ah well, at least I'm registered for the last big race of my season.
Well I'm slowly feeling better. Throat wasn't as sore last night. Feeling pretty good today, still a bit tired.
Maybe if it was wet and muddy at NoHo I might have had as much fun as erikV at Barton. I read somewhere, maybe Boom? Nys? Something about the Koppenburg in the wet, that it is cross weather. Not so much fun to race in it every single race, but it is good to have them everyonce in a while. Sort of like cross. If we raced it all year long it would lose the magic. If we raced in the mud absolutely every weekend... actually forget that logic. I'd have an absolute freaking BLAST if we raced in the mud every weekend. We've got the rest of the year to stay clean and dry. Right?
be good, vote, and hope for the best,

Voting at Weaver Library was a mess. I got on TV though.
List split A-k then L-Z. Were no A-Ks to speak of. Lots of us in the latter group. I was there when the doors opened and about 40 people in. Took me about 50 minutes. The woman checking names had no grasp of the alphabet and refused help from of of the A-K ladies.
Liz was in line when I left about ten of 8. She may still be there...
