Today was a pretty quiet one around here. John left early this morning to finish the trim job he and Matt have been working on for the past few days. He thought he would be home by noon, but they found they had to hang a couple of exterior doors, so they stayed until they had everything done.

When John got home, we headed off to vote. We cast our ballots in a little town hall out in the country where our township and one other share the voting facility. We signed our names in the registration book and were handed a ballot. We then went into a little cubicle and it filled out. After we got that done, our ballot was put into a cardboard folder and we then slid the ballot into an electronic vote counting machine. This is worlds away from the computerized ballots of the bigger towns and cities. The electronic machines have only been used for the past couple of years--prior to then, our ballots were counted by hand.

Following supper we spent our evening watching the election returns on Fox News. What an amazing night!!
