The Vote is in

Or so I hope. I finished filling in my mail-in ballot on Saturday and we dropped both ballots off at an early voting location. All of those TV ads and the literature that I keep shoving in the recycle bin is wasted if you are trying to influence me now.

I think the recycle bin is going to pay for itself this week. I hadn't realize just how much we accumulated between all of the candidates and the ballot issues. Just a note to anyone who might mail this stuff, this household only needs one copy. We share. Three copies is excessive. I have no idea why we needed four of a couple of things. Save the postage. Save a tree. Don't stuff my recycling bin. I can do that on my own.

In a couple of days, I supposedly can check a web site to see that my ballot made it in. Or far more likely, I will just declare that I did my part and want nothing more to do with the elections this year.
