Peace and solace to you and yours, Frank.
So I voted! I had to run out and get cash, and decided to go past the EV polling place. The line was a third of what it was this morning and moving, so I figured why the hell not. It took a little over an hour, which granted, is longer than I think I've ever waited on election day. Of course, people are freaking out about the storm and there are only 5 EV polling places for the whole city, rather than a bajillion. It was a great cross-section of Baltimore society. People were running into old (sometimes REALLY old) friends, people were talking with strangers. My line-neighbor and I got to talking gay marriage (one of the issues) and while he was a weak pro, I think I got him to pro! Volunteers were holding places in line for those too weak to stand in line, ushering them inside to the lobby (League for People with Disabilities) to sit.
What was also really cool was that some of the Election Judges were members of the League (their buttons said so, though some did have visible disabilities.) Plus, there were various inspirational bios of people who they've helped lining the walls, much more interesting than cafeteria menus.
Also, vacuumed the first floor, second load of laundry in, plant moved inside, tarp upstairs secured, Target and pedicure achieved.

That sounds like a good voting experience, sarameg.

(OK, I waited 1.5 hours at local precinct in 2008, in the morning. My current precinct has always been faster, but I've always gone before or after the evening rush, when there are lines.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Frank, I'm so sorry.

My sympathies, Frank.
Today I have scrubbed my tub and bathroom sink, done laundry, taken out the trash, and gotten a haircut. That's enough chores for first day of vacation, right?
