Ah yes, the late votes. I almost forgot how fun they were. It begins. Eating 3 meals at my desk, attempting to go outside at least once a day during daylight hours, trying to remember what my kitties look like.

Today was election day. Being a DC resident, I didn't vote for anything. But on the radio this morning the jockey was telling everyone that they should stay home and not vote because it is a waste of time. And then he went on to lambast a local candidate for who knows what. I think he just wanted to call her nasty names because it was amusing.

Isn't democracy FUN?
