Another day of civic responsibility

Today was the general election in Baltimore. I had completely forgotten about it until my dad asked me at dinner if I had voted yet. So I went out and performed my civic responsibility. The people at the polling station were very excited to have someone come in, since it was empty when I got there. No one really remembered about it, since there was no campaigning or anything. Accordign to the woman who checked me in, someone else came in who had already fixed himself a highball for the evening when his son asked him if he had voted. On the up side, though, I learned the name of the Republican candidate for mayor so I could then not vote for him. Fun.
