My grandson, senior at FGCU in Fort Meyers drove 4hours home tonight to the Keys because they didnt get his
mail in ballot to him at the dorm in time and he wanted to vote! And because they canceled school in the Keys tomorrow because of hurricane winds and school busses (no worries, just a safety rule), we are all off tomorrow and will have the day with him.
Took him and a friend to DQ for supper and ice cream and filled up his tank, after voting. Guess I have to let his folks have a little time with him.
Hes a GOOD BOY! I brought him up right.
That's fab! Rain day in Fort Myers. Fingers crossed

(70,983 posts)At least he didn't have to go through those Lower Keys at night.
We did that once. 35mph all the way through Big Pine & Bahia Honda.
Landed in Miami at 11:30; got to Key West at 3:15am!
Never did that drive again.

(9,454 posts)Im glad I went in person to early vote. I was afraid that something would happen on Election Day - even though its very Republcan. I was afraid of a bomb threat being called in on Election Day. I guess I was off by one state - Georgia.
