Well I voted. The weather was perfect and the four block walk through Shadyside was pleasant. Autumn leaves covered the sidewalks. I voted around 8:30 am. There was no line. The volunteers were helpful and friendly. I felt patriotic and knew I was taking part in an historic election no matter who wins.
I went back to my apartment and phoned Verizon and tried to fix whatever is keeping me from accessing my voicemail. Then I left for computer school.

It’s 6:30 am. In about an hour I’ll leave my apartment and walk the four blocks to the church where I vote. What an historic day: McCain, Palin, Obama and Biden. The nation is fighting two wars. The economy is in a dangerous recession. Humankind has been polluting the planet for decades. People are losing their pensions. Over forty-five million Americans have no health care. Should the right to life of the unborn supersede the right of a woman to an abortion?
Be sure to vote.
