Why Election Day ought to be a national holiday
Adrian has informed me that he may not be available for dinner on Tuesday, as "I'm expecting to stand in line at the polls for ten hours! And if anyone tries to intimidate anyone from voting, I'm going to stop that! So I might get arrested."
Best excuse ever! I told him that if he's still in line when I show up, I'll wait with him, and if he's in jail, I'll bail him out. And if I'm still in line or in jail, I'll take a rain check with no hard feelings. I might demand compensatory sexual favors later.
After that conversation, I decided to set my Election Day alarm for 6:00 AM and bring food, water, and plenty of reading material. Though I don't expect turn-out to be that crazy where I am, and expect it to be even less so in San Dimas, Adrian's teeny little town.
I tried to sign up for the CREDO text message election action alerts, but was foiled-- I guess you need to have CREDO's cell phone service?
Perhaps, assuming I don't get stuck in line for eight hours myself, I'll cruise around and see if any polling place needs Election Fairy water or coffee or snack deliveries.
