Well, the first day of early voting on Monday, wasn't a day to vote for me. I went over the lunch hour to vote and was met with lines out the door. The lady in the car next to where I parked said that the wait time was about 35 minutes. I said that I came at noon thinking everyone would be out to lunch. She said that she had thought the same thing.
I went on my route to try to get some good shots with the sun out and blue sky. About three-thirty I returned, but the lines were even longer. On the evening news, the topic was how the polls all over the city were lines out the door. So, its going to be interesting to see who gets tossed out from being an incumbent. I have a feeling that a lot of incumbents are going to get tossed on their ears in these mid-terms. Plus, the number of signs out in front along the sidewalk were triple to what had been there during previous elections and primaries. Actually, I'm glad to see people doing that and not being an old stick in the mud by not turning out to vote. The last election, some two-thirds of Texans didn't vote according to some reports being aired. True, it was an off year, but still, that is a lot of hand-sitting there, bud! Politics in Texas is different. I'll give them that, but those days are falling by the way side as a whole new generation of hi-tech, social media, Whole Foods, gluten free, i-phone, app happy kiddos are showing up at the polls. Ride 'em cowboys!! Politics are tossed them riders left and right now.
