I Voted

During dinner last night I wondered if election day would one day adapt to Apple's branding, making the oh-so-famous red and white "I VOTED" sticker read as "iVote". On second thought, that would take away from the seriousness of the matter, but I still think it's clever.
Since I was busy with work and piano lessons until the polls closed this evening I had to vote before work. John was nice enough to come with me and we stood in line about 15 minutes before reaching the table to check in. Once we got that far it moved very quick. Luckily, I registered to vote at the fair this summer. If I had to have a job at working at the election site I would definitely NOT want to have the job of telling everyone how to fill in the ovals and confirming that there are indeed pens at each station. I still have a couple more hours to wait before if I chose all of the right answers on today's quiz. I didn't study up on all of the politicians before voting like I'm sure some people do. Politics do not interest me that much and probably never will; I hadn't even heard of half of the people on the ballots. Despite all this, I couldn't help but feel rather proud as I cast my ballot this morning knowing that I was doing my civic duty by giving my vote for the next leaders of our area and country.
