early and often, as 3x-great-grandpa would have said!
in case you were worried, we voted by Absentee Ballot a week before we set off.

As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, if you've got anything bad to say, sit next to me! No, really, please remember to be kind, and don't say anything fred's mother would not approve of (Diner's mom didn't approve of anything. Including fred.)

Hello:
ReplyDeleteThe exercising of one's vote is, of course, an essential part of the democratic process!
yes, it's astounding how many people fail to recognize that, even as they complain.
DeleteA campaign worker came to our door over the weekend with the cutest little buttons on her jacket. I immediately ordered some, even though they'll arrive well after the election. Democracy through fashion!
ReplyDeleteI had a great collection of multi-lingual buttons in the last election, made the mistake of checking my coat and they disappeared!
DeleteI hope to get out there before as opposed to after work. So often, it feels like why bother since I'm in California, already behind in time zones and with late in the day, the TV crews want to call the decisions before it's over.
ReplyDeleteit's the message as well as the statistic, pile that vote on!
DeletePlease vote, no matter how it is for you to get to the polls and stay at the polls. Please just vote and be counted.
ReplyDeleteAA
hear, hear!
DeleteMichelle Obama asked people to vote early just in case you toilet backs up on Election day and you have to stay home to wait for the plumber all day. Good advice and I took it this year. I have no idea how my family in NY and NJ are going to get out and vote today though. Between no electricity, long gas lines and being displaced by flooding I'm not certain how that is going to work for older people-and they are the lucky ones who have not had tragic losses. Hope that Flintstone Manor and your friends and family weathered the storm well with no damage.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love how she connects, that actually happened to us one year, well, it was the dishwasher, and was I glad I'd voted early!
ReplyDeleteoh, and thanks, AmW, we did have a call from the lovely man who looks after our pool, he drove by the house, no visible damage from outside and no large trees down. There may be water in the basement but I can deal with that.
DeleteWe had no fear-- of course, you voted! I am off to do the same soon. In a small town, all the workers there are known to me, the voting takes 2 minutes, but the chatting can go on and on. Fun, actually.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that everything is ok at Flinstone Manor, wellfedfred! I hope you and Himself are continuing to enjoy your holiday. You are in London now, correct? How much longer do you get to stay overseas?
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went together last Thursday to early vote. Anxiously awaiting for the polls to close and the results to start coming in...
I turned in my absentee ballot this morning. There were a lot of state and local issues to consider so filling in the ballot took a while. I am very grateful that was born in this country. So many fought and died for our right to vote and I believe it is my person obligation to be a part of the process. My eldest will be 18 in 4 years and will be watching the returns with interest tonight. It has been exciting to discuss the process with him and teach him about democracy and values that we embrace.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your home is ok and that you are enjoying your adventures.
"What's next?"
