Academic

So, I thought I would be clever and get to my polling place at 6:00 a.m., when voting started.  Unfortunately, a lot of people in my precinct seem to be just as clever.  I lined up at 6:06 a.m., and 52 minutes later, I was the 138th voter.  Apparently, the line started to form at 5:30 a.m.  Everything else went smoothly.  I was given a paper ballot and a ballpoint pen to darken circles.  I know from my almost 20 years of education that no machine in the world can read circles that aren't darkened in by a #2 pencil, but here's hoping.

Happy Election Day!!
