9:00 am Out the door, newspaper and sample ballot in hand. Coat, gloves (in case it's cold in the shade) and folding camp stool. Just in case. Taking one car and voting with my husband to save gas and parking spots.
9:10 am Pulled into parking lot of local library - our designated polling place. WOW! Are those empty spots I'm seeing? YES! Into a place. Parked and ready.
9:15 am Into line - not a very long one at this point, thank goodness. "You should have seen it at 7 am when the polls opened," the election offical told us.
9:20 am Chit chatting with neighbors and friends. Comparing stories and glad it's such a gorgeous fall day for standing in this not-too-long line.
9:30 am All paperwork completed. Standing in line for a voting machine.
9:40 am Touchscreen voting - notes in hand just to remind me of all the names for the less-publicized but all-so-important local races.
9:55 am VOTING COMPLETED!!! I have my sticker to prove it and it's only taken an hour, start to finish! That was easy!
10:00 am Now for that hot tea I missed this morning and then back emails/phone calls to remind everyone I know to GO VOTE!!!!
More to come....
