I now qualify for a free cup of coffee at Starbucks, a free star-shaped donut at Krispie Kreme or a free scoop of ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. More importantly, I qualify to be able to voice my opinion – good or bad – about the results of the election since I have voted.
We braced ourselves for long lines and found just the opposite – in fact, the A-E line had no one in it! I told Burl I was sure glad we got married and I changed my name. 
However, we were truly in the dark! A squirrel had chewed through the power lines at the church where we vote so the gym with the voting booths was lit with emergency lights that run off batteries. The effect was to make the process rather spooky and scary which in reality it is!
I have already decided I will not torture myself by listening to the liberal, pious media spend all evening dissecting the election and making their predictions. They have proved more than once that they aren’t always right – like in 1948 and 2000 – and I would love for that to happen again in the presidential race. They should just sit on it until all the polls have closed in the U.S. but of course they’re not wired to keep quiet or show much in the way of ethics.
Enough of my soap box – I don’t want to ruin a beautiful day playing golf at Murder Rock.
You can also get a free sandwich from Chick-fil-A (I prefer the freestanding one on Glenstone). Were you at Sycamore Baptist to vote? My dad was there and said they “turned out the lights” – I wonder if it was your squirrel?
