This is a good thing

I just got back from my voting place. I figured 10:00 a.m. was a quiet, lowkey time to go do my civic duty. It was quiet but not lowkey. There was a line to get to the one of the 11 booths in our tiny precinct. They even offered up some space where a person could sit and fill out a clipboard.

No matter which side of the spectrum you fall on, this is comforting to see. Minnesotans love elections (we traditionally are among the leaders in the country in participation) and this year appears to be no different.

Despite the talkies' constant yammering and the negative ads that make us all crazy, we're still out there voting. As Martha Stewart would say, that is a good thing.
