All we had were school board and fire district elections. Had to hold my nose on both of them; for school board, I wrote myself in, rather than vote for the idiots on the ballot. (I am as qualified as any of them!) As for the fire protection district, I would vote for ANYBODY who would train our "Lost Battalion" how to read a stinkin' map!! But neither of the candidates will do that. (I can give you a long litany of instances in which they got lost or couldn't find the incident they were dispatched to. Three of them involved my family; one of those nearly cost my sister her life!)

Voted Yes on the Tax increase and voted for challengers for the school board (something of throw the rascals out voting). It was 3pm+ and I was voter 79 out of some 1200 or so eligible for the precinct so I guess it will be a very light turn out today.

Oh, well we both did our civic duty today so !
