Election Day

Dick had more MMAP all-day training today. I went to the drug store and got some Aleve for Mother and went in for a short visit. She has no interest in elections anymore, but she definitely leans Republican. She hasn't really kept up with what's going on in the outside world as far as pre-emptive war, imprisonment, removal of basic rights, and torture. I believe she's more of a Milliken Republican - the kind we had 50 years ago.

Dick left his meeting a little bit early so that we could go vote before the after-work crowd. We went to the fire house first, and then realized that voting must be at the township hall. We finally got to the right place, and it was not the least bit crowded, and there were only a couple of people ahead of us.

The early returns from around the country were very encouraging. The Democratic candidates are winning from coast to coast. We went to bed early but happy.
