Sheila and I drove by the Elections Center yesterday to find a VERY long line out the door around the front of the building and way out into the parking lot. So we decided to wait and vote today. We were surprised to find a line again at noon today. But it seemed to be moving well. So we joined the throng. It was nice to fid ourselves with Tommy Bright and Bob Steinbruegge. Tommy joined the McHenry faculty on the same day that I did in August of 1971. Bob is the hubby of my co-worker/frioend/fellow teacher Kathy. A chance to catch up again with these two made the time pass quickly. Sheila estimates that it took us about thirty minutes from getting in line till we exited the center.
I also enjoyed seeing other friends there including Virginia McChesney, Tony Pope and Sylvia Garrett who are poll workers.

Now we must get out the vote. In my book it would be tragic to lose Raphael Warnock -- not only would Georgia lose a principled and articulate leader in the Senate but we would represented by a laughing-stock, an ignoramus, wannabe fascist whose only qualification is his former prowess in running with a football.
