Democracy in Action
Today, I woke really darn early, waited in line for [only] an hour, after parking my car a block away from a family of 5 deer grazing on a front lawn, amidst the most beautiful fall leaves I've seen gathered in one block, walked past a PTA bake sale at the school where I cast my vote for the next President of the United States (which, although I rarely like to discuss my political views, especially publicly, will proudly proclaim was for Barack Obama), put on my "I Voted/Yo Vote" sticker, got to the Metro early amidst signs offering free rides to polling places, and was greeted at work by a co-worker's email offering rides to polls for a vendor of ours who is running late for a session because their employee was voting this morning. :)
