Well, here we are on election eve, we're not yet tucked our bed, but we have sugarplums dancing in our heads. It is unbelievable how some folks think up scams to intimidate would be voters, and a lot of it has to do with race...But we are deep in the south, in Duval County Florida, where John McCain leads by 20 points. I don't want to get too political...but cold calls about the INS being at the polling places (to get you illegal relatives), cops there to collect or issue warrants for past parking/traffic violations., Republicans to vote on Tuesday, Democrats to vote on Wednesday...
It is nice to live in a country where each citizen has the right to freely vote. It sounds like the turnout will be huge. Florida and Georgia had early voting, and there were BIG lines! This is so stirring... Although the campaign has gone on too long, and has cost too much ($8-10 per vote!), it sure beats what a lot of other countries have to deal with. Can I be patriotic and still maybe vote Democratic?
Whatever happens, it sure has got to be better than the last several years. I sure hope you all had the chance to vote!
We are at a nice RV Park on the north edge of Jacksonville, but I have to admit, I am hesitant to wear my 1-20-09 ('Bush's Last Day' T-shirt with "End of an Error" on the back) after seeing our neighbor's motorhome, beautifully decorated with the mural you see below.
