Election Day

View Larger Map

The picture above is the entrance to Ann Arbor. On the right is Arbor Land Mall. For those in the know, there is more to the welcome to Ann Arbor sign. There is listed all the 6 sister cities, and their dates of inception to sisterhood. The sign is unreadable, but it lists cities from countries that are hardly much larger than the cities themselves.

Today was election day. Jonny began the day by driving Angelina to a flu clinic. Then he drove home. Alberta, Jesse and Lorraine had no school and were thus watching themselves. Jonny parked the car and dropped off the keys. Then he walked to the polling place. He waited in line from 8:45 to 10:15. This was a complete waste of time, if there was internet voting. If you had arrived at 7:40 as one of Jonny's neighbors did you would wait longer. The guy's family drove past Jonny at 7:40 while he was walking Lucy the dog. They waited in line for longer than the 1.5 hours that Jonny waited. So those who arrived at 7AM were punished the most.

Jonny abstained from voting in protest. He put the minimum number of black circles in order to vote. He voted straight party ticket, that was one circle. He voted on two state proposals that was two and three circles. He voted on one tax bill that "wasn't really a tax bill." that was circle number 4. So for the Republican readers that explanation of the tax bill vote was just for you.

Jonny is listening to Gems of the Torah, bereshit parsha. He is up to page 113 of VOL II, SK, DT concordance. It is still boring. Jonny is discovering that books 5-7 of the series probably were his least favorites. It goes, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 6. Book 4 was the best. But there was far too much vampires, ghosts and crosses in books 5-7, which this concordance was about anyway. Well back to my it labs for school and back to infomaker for work.
