Vote or Don't Complain

John and I just got back from the polls. We went early, anticipating a crowd. We were right. I can’t begin to estimate how many because the line snaked around the halls of our local elementary school and into the auditorium. But it only took us a little more than one hour. Not bad at all. We were thinking it would be much worse.

It was fun to see friends and neighbors. We discussed the weather, work, and lots of football (and, yes, John’s Steelers put a whooping on my Redskins last night). Got to read the entire paper, too. That doesn’t usually happen.

Now we wait. Wait to see the outcome. And we hope that whoever makes it to the White House will make a positive impact on this nation.

So get out there and vote. And if you choose not to vote, keep your mouth shut. You have no right to complain. It’s as simple as that.
