So I got off my ass and I walked the two miles to the early voting site.
The cold wind was in my face and pushing against me the whole way there. Like an idiot, I forgot a scarf. Took me forty-five minutes to walk two miles, but I walked into the polling place with no problems other than being exhausted and aching. I would say it was unusually busy for a Sunday. I walked up two flights of stars, got checked in and cast my ballot with zero problems... for President Trump, Vice-President Pence and every Republican on the ticket.
On the way back, the wind was at my back and I had a little rush to carry me along, for a bit at least. The sun came out a couple of times and it seemed like forever to get home. I'm still cold, and I have a frosty aching ear now, but I feel like that meme of Frodo... It's Done.
I could have tried to go late Monday, or late Tuesday, but I wasn't comfortable with doing that this year. I'm just sorry, because there wasn't anyone else I could take with me. I did tell a couple of neighbors to make sure they voted, and I showed them my sticker... and I gave silent fuck yous to the three houses with Biden signs. Three houses out of a hundred houses I walked past with no signs.
No excuses this year, folks. Not getting it done, is NOT an option. GO VOTE!
God bless you, sir!
