Election Day Excitement

Wow.

I've got to tell you, we were not expecting this to be exciting.

Now, we were prepared to things to be exciting.  We have a week's worth of food in the kitchen right now.  We have the doors locked.  The school sent out homework for next week, just in case.  We didn't leave home all day today.  But, we were not actually expecting things to be exciting.

The day was fairly quiet up on our hill.  Sometimes we would hear folks driving by with their music blaring, advertising their vote.  And the neighbors downstairs seemed to have a large group of people listening to the radio or the television for quite a while.  But otherwise, fairly quiet from our vantage point.

The polls closed at 6:00pm.  Its now 9:30pm.  I'm not going to play journalist in any way.  But were today's election clear cut, a winner would have been called by now.  No winner has been called.

This may be an election well worth waiting up for.
