And now a story about voting, the elecctions and those darned political phone calls that keep waking me up. We have been bombarded with no less then then 3 political phone calls an hour over this past week. They start as early as 9 AM and go through about 7:30 PM. Lovely. At least they will stop tonight when the polls close, I hope. We did get one funny phone call that went something like this:
John: Hello
Guy: James Turner please.
John: Oh hey...(thinking it must be a friend) I'm sorry, may I ask whose calling?
Guy: I'm calling from McCain/Palin and wanted to talk to James Turner.
John: Well, James Turner is 17 months old and won't be voting, but I can assure you, if he was voting he would be voting for McCain/Palin. Please update your records.
Guy: Thank you sir, we will be sure to update our records.
James did come with me to vote today. Luckily the line for M-Z was really short. Although a nice man handing out the "Sample ballots" offered to get them to bump me to the front of the line if I was A-L. So nice. James, as usual, was a big hit to those around us. He even talked up a storm while I was filling out my ballot. Then he got an "I voted" sticker and thought he was very cool.

Now did he also get to use his I voted sticker for free ice cream from Ben and Jerry's, a free donut from Krispy Creme or a free coffee from Starbucks? ;-)
I can't believe how fast you voted on Tuesday. Remember to take James next year so you can rush to the head of the line.
