Troubled Times Tuesday

 Election Day (seemingly again - Texas has lots of elections, runoffs, and then more. But this is the real November one)

I did early vote - got it over with early.   Yes, voting is a privilege. It was quite easy at our local library. I thanked the worker bees who were checking folks in, manning the machines, etc.  We had no kerfluffles or crazy.  Then again on a Tuesday morning in October, the key was to not trip over a senior on a walker. 

I came out feeling  sad about the choices. But, whatever...my life, fortunately shall continue just fine in a blur of pickleball, reading, movies, and walks. 

It's the bigger picture. 

Anyway - I included this Oscar Wilde quote, since I'm on the bandwagon of not banning books. Parents should be aware of what their kids choose to read and it should encourage discussions. I don't want any groups usurping my power to choose a book. At this juncture,  our local library has not been affected.

I think more reading and critical thinking should be encouraged and at least available. It would build knowledgeable citizens. 

Good Luck America!

Monday Election Eve - Vote

Tuesday , November 6, 2018 is another Election Day.  We are fortunate in America. The dates are set for elections - it's not random, it's not willy-nilly, it's not after one group dissolves, and others are formed. It's very regular and we get to choose.

Ray and I chose early voting.  We are a "divided" household and, no doubt, "canceled" out our votes. But we did it and we'll still be alive and talking on Wednesday morning.

Today is Monday. I hope you've done the same - early vote, or you'll be stopping at the polls on Tuesday between 7 am and 7 pm to give your vote, your opinion, and exercise your freedom.

Good luck, America!
