If you haven’t yet (and you’re 18), GO VOTE.

I hopped in line at 6:50 am this morning with the rest of the early-morning crowd… lets just say it was not exactly a cheery crew.

Stressed out commuters shifted from left foot to right faster than a three year old in line for the potty, but none of that nervous energy came out in noisiness; the entire elementary school was eerily silent. One of the poll workers walked by the line and muttered “Geez, it’s so quiet. ‘ts like a funeral out here.”

Thankfully, the (mostly adorably elderly) poll-workers were rockin’, and the line was speedy and it was not long before I stood, ballot in hand and ready to vote. I do not plan to tell you who I voted for. . . (if you know me, you can probably guess), but vote, I did.

And, speaking as an almost-perpetually-stressed-out special education teacher who woke up at 4:30 am with a full day ahead; if I can vote, so can you.

If you need a little extra motivation to vote, please note that google is doing its best to inspire civic duty today.

Also, before election day is over, you should also watch my new favorite political campaign add. I don’t care who you are (Republican, Conservative, Libertarian or Librarian), but this is extremely wonderful:
