I voted today after I left work. This was my first time voting ever! It took about 10 minutes. I expected it to take much longer. Anyway, when I began to approach the building, three men stood waiting.

One asked, "Have you voted before?"

"No, this is my first time." I responded

"Are you 18?" another man asked

"Huh? I'm way past 18." shocked...I responded

While inside the building, I first had to give my name and address. Then, I had to wait in line for my 4 digit access code. While I was waiting in line, one lady sitting at the booth told a woman, "Get in behind him." She was referring to me. LOL Well, about as soon as she had said that, she realized I was a her. She began apologizing to me. She said that she was sorry at least 3 times. LOL

I have my hair cut very short. hehe Plus, I had on a sweatshirt with army pants. I could see how she might have gotten a bit confused. :)

To vote, I had to use this machine with a dial and buttons. Well, first you had to enter your 4 digit access code.

Okay, I'm probably boring everyone now. LOL But, it was my first time voting. And, I couldn't share this with my relatives because they are Republican.

Cheers!

I have always jokingly called him Archie as in Archie Bunker. lol

He is not that bad but...

So Mad Dad is when we talk politics or Archie when he says things that well people just shouldn't say. I think it is a generation thing.
