Election Day, 2009

Go out and exercise your right to vote. But, please, listen to the voices in your head. They have to be better than the sign posted on this corner.

There were few choices on the ballot here in north-central PA. Most of the candidates were running unopposed and there were no questions to be decided. Certainly nothing as dramatic as Virginia, New Jersey, or NY-23. Still, Terry and I made a morning of it by having breakfast out (Grandma's Kitchen in Mansfield) and picking up 10 50-pound bags of sunflower seeds and a dozen suet cakes for the birds before casting our ballot.

Is it one of those issues where you must vote "yes" to MEAN "no", or did they totally fail?

Did you have to vote with an electronic machine?

Rev. Paul: Beats me. But I'm glad you've noticed those negative positives (or is it positively negative?) questions that appear on the ballot from time to time as well. I thought it was just me.

threecollie: Yep. Even our little "town" (if it weren't for the post office, there wouldn't be much of a town) has the electronic voting machines.

Last census showed 694 people in our little 24 square miles. I'm sure here are more horses, cows, steers and sheep than that today. Heck there are probably more cats and dogs than that. On second thought, there probably aren't more cats and dogs but it's probably close.
