So I Voted

I decided to walk to the polling location, since it is one of the most gorgeous fall days I can remember. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the leaves are a majestic Virginia blend of red, yellow, and green. After fifteen minutes of such bliss, the voting itself was a bit anticlimactic. I walked into the little booth, pressed a couple buttons on this bizarre screen, and pressed the big yellow "cast vote" button. It says my vote was recorded, but who knows.

In fact, this whole day is a bit anticlimactic. After experiencing some rather uncomfortable tension the last few days, today I feel fine. I can't explain it. But I'm glad. Whatever happens today, the world goes on. It always does.
