I am sensing a trend with blog titles today. Then again, we only elect a president every four years so it's obviously a very bloggable event. Since we are in the New House, I obviously had to set out today to find our brand new polling place. I'd gotten my postcard in the mail confirming my registration, so I headed over there during my lunch break, assuming there would be less of a crowd at that time of day. The car I parked behind made me think I was probably in the right place:
Excellent selection of stickers.
So here it is, my polling place entrance. No line, as you can see. My plan paid off:
That small sign identifies this as a church. I didn't get a photo of the interior, but it was the most stereotypical of church basements. Very appropriate for election day.
At around 1 this afternoon, I was the 1,365th person to cast my vote. Andy went this morning before work and was number 73 just after 7am. That's a pretty good turnout, I'd say. So I have successfully exercised my franchise and even have this neat red sticker to prove it:
The sticker is obviously one of the best parts.
I stopped by the house since I get an hour lunch break and voting took virtually no time at all. Calvin sat on my lap and purred like crazy the whole time I was home. Definitely an excellent election day bonus:

PS Calvin looks very cute and cuddly.
Calvin is just not a kitten anymore, is he? Still cute, though
I'm not proud of it but I didn't go the extra mile to vote this year, as it would have been a long process that may not have been fruitiful. I'm glad Obama won and not that other guy, and the Tanzanians around me are ecstatic!
