malada: Canadian flag text I stand with Canada (Default)

Took an early 'long lunch' from work (at home) and headed out to do early voting.

The voting place opened at 9:00 and I arrived there about 9:45. How bad could it be?

I waited half an hour.

In the rain. Smart me, I brought my umbrella. Most people where there with umbrellas, masks ... not so good at the social distancing but good enough.

Totally worth it.

Got inside and they sprayed my hands with some kind of disinfectant. Smelled lemony. Mmm. Lemony votes. I was given a disinfected pen and a freshly printed ballot!

I walked out and sang, "I'm voting in the rain... just voting in the rain!" This got me a couple of laughs (which was the whole point) and one 'Don't quit the day job!'

Totally worth it.

And now, we wait... but I feel a little better having done my part.
