Did my bit

Voted.

My day off today, so I went midmorning, and there were no lines at my polling place. Drove by my OLD polling place (before redistricting) and there was an enormous line there.

Then I went to put gas in my car, and when I went to start it again, no forward gears. Only reverse.

AAA brought me home.

BLEAH.

Kerry had better damned well win.

I think it's the day for car trouble. After I finished voting, I went out toget in my car and go to work and it wouldn't start. And the jump kit wasn't charged either.

Luckily, my friend Chris is visiting for a couple days and offered to let me drive his car in.

I DO find it interesting though that the car trouble happened after voting, not before. Otherwise, I'd think it was a conspiracy. :D

Well, that's just because you don't LOOK too Democratic. If you were, they'd have broken your car last night. Now it's just a spite thing.

There's truth there. And I didn't have my Kerry button on last night (though I do today!)

Heh -- I guess it's a good thing I walked to my polling place!

Oh, I did too. It was just trying to get from my polling place (which happens to be in my apartment building) to work that became the trouble.

Of course, you're lucky to be able to walk to work too. ;)

no car trouble here... but then I'm in the bay area in CA and I think they've just given up on us because we're so hopelessly liberal.

...then again it might have something to do with me driving my first new car of my life, bought less than 3 months ago :)
