#228 - Don't Like This Close Election

Presidential Election November 3, 2020

It's finally here. It was a beautiful day around most of the country. I felt ready.

I made a corny little sign for the porch, to please me and possibly the UPS guy. Then I set up RGB and my donkey friends.

I baked some lame red, white & blue cookies. You used to be able to get them at the grocery store, during past elections. Not during the pandemic.

Along with many others around the country I wore pearls, in honor of RGB. I added my grandmother's Uncle Sam doll to the table. "Daw" voted in 1920, at the first election after the 19th amendment!

Don wore his patriotic shirt and crossed his fingers. We are ready for change.

I got excited a couple of times. Pinellas County is the county that I sent vote reminder cards to, in Florida. 60 postcards! Maybe my volunteering helped.

There is no landslide win for Biden, tonight. Not that I really expected it. But it was stressful. It seemed way too much like 2016. I stared at my friends instead.

Then I had a nice glass of milk in a champagne flute and nibbled my cookie nervously. 

After hours of watching I called it quits at 10. This is way too stressful and way too close. It looks like there are a lot more people than I thought, who believe it's okay to vote for a man who really only cares about himself. Good night.
