lagilmanI took advantage of the flight schedule changes last night and hit the Massage Bar at SeaTac. Mmmm, my shoulder muscles approve. And a good thing too, because the rest of the evening... Parents, if your under-3 is sick, do not take him on the redeye flight. Nobody will be happy, and I do mean nobody.
However, we all made it through, and I am home, appeasing the (hungry, bored, annoyed) cats. About to head out and see if the post-commuter-rush voting lines are as bad as predicted....
EtA: 20 minutes from desk back to desk. As I suspected, most of my district voted before going to work -- a lot of senior citizens and caretakers, young mothers with strollers, and me.
No McCain pamphleteers standing outside -- three Democrat volunteers were handing out their "vote the line" sheets, the requisite distance away. Voting instructions in four different languages. Probably the best comment I heard was from the older gentleman in front of me, coming out of the booth: "That's done. Thank god."
And the line at Starbucks to claim the free coffee was damn impressive.
Did anyone get an "I voted" sticker today? Or did the PTB look at the proposed turnout and say fuggedaboutit?
