a) Nagged only half to death? Wait a week or so 'til the pollyticks are gone and the holiday hucksters get into full swing. The papers are getting full and fuller of ads (as, I suppose, the TV is), but the hucksters are just getting going. At least they'll be obnoxious but not slinging mud.
ii. Someone (autographeddoc?) recently posted about the responsibility to vote. I'm not sure about that. It's a right, and a very basic one, but not one that *has* to be exercised. There are, of course, consequences if one chooses not to exercise that right. :(
3) All this being said, Chosen One and I voted yesterday (Tuesday, actually), by hook or by crook. Or should I say by wheelchair and walker? But we voted. And a reward trip to Dairy Queen followed. :) Chosen One was already sick, and I took her to the Emergency Room that evening. She stayed overnight and was then admitted in-patient, where she is now, and doing a bit better.
IV. To all who *did* vote, regardless of whether I agree with your votes, thank you for voting. It's a little thing that can help keep America from becoming Something Other Than What It Has Been. Sleep well, but with one eye open.
