No long lines at my polling location when I went...right after the pre-work rush since I work evenings and had the day off anyway. SO glad to be done with the darn political ads (and hearing about politics constantly)!! Is it just me, or were the ads worse this year?

They were terrible, and I'm not in the worst of the battleground states. Between the ads and the calls, I've been going nuts!! We voted this afternoon prior to the after work rush - no line, no wait at all.

For some reason we put it off until today and I didn't get home until almost 4, and since we walked to the polling place (about 2.7 miles) people were starting to get off work and there was a bit of a line. Not too bad though, we're in a rural location, so we were back home before full dark (thank goodness, I'm not much on being out on rural roads after dark).

My neighbor waited for 2.5 hours this morning. Many others in Arlington county waited that long.
I got there around noon and waited just about an hour. The woman in front of me was wearing too much perfume so I had to hang back to keep from sneezing.

So now I am watching the returns and just finished cooking for the next 3 days... For some reason I associate election night with cooking - and I've been taking care of business!

I had a client cancel and I was able to go home at 1, to vote. I rode there, voted, did a loop, and then ride to my client's house. I voted at 2:15 or so and it was busy, but no line at all. Saw a few neighbors, who seemed surprised I rode, since it's the coldest day of the season. I ended up sitting and waiting to pass the time at Ferns country store, as I didn't want to stay in Concord center and be tempted to buy stuff. Saw 2 cyclists there, but they were not friendly. By the time I left there, I had my front light blinking and my back light on, too. Got to my client's house around 3:45 and left at 5:30. It was fully dark, and about 33 when I got home. I did not have my warmest gloves on, and I needed them. Was happy to see my hill, as that was what warmed my hands up.
