Election Day

Here we are waiting in line at an Obama rally on MSU campus. We waited in line to vote today as well. A blow-up of this photograph shows the line to get into the rally extended to the Administration Building, we standing across from Beaumont Tower. The line at the voting place was @ 15 people. In the rally line, we struck up a conversation with kids from Sexton High School, only one was 18 years of age. In the voting line, we talked with our neighbors, all were somewhat above the voting, as well as drinking age. In fact, there were people 81  years of age (reverse of  figures) and above.

Kathy and I walked to the voting polls, the sky was cloudless, the temperature in the mid-70's. After voting, we spoke with more neighbors, all offering us a ride home, we preferred to walk. Upon opening our front door, the temperature was appreciably colder than outside. Fortuitously, my laziness in removing screens from windows and doors has now paid off again. The whole place is wide open, and we are loving it.

We have done our part in the Eastern time zone, please everyone do their part in their time zone: go Vote!
