The election took place last week, yet we are still covered up with recounts and runoffs. Daughter Kate made me proud last Tuesday. She spent her free time (when she was not in class)working for the Obama campaign, calling folks in Laurens County and giving rides to the disabled who wanted to vote, but were unable to do so. Later, she was counting votes in Laurens County and found one of her professors written in for coroner and state senator. I may not have agreed with her choices, but I certainly appreciated her willingness to serve.
At the same time, Spalding County provided 74% of the its voters at the polls. That is a huge number and I am proud of my home county for getting out the vote. You just don't see those kind of numbers ordinarily.
I watched another senatorial advertisement this morning before we left. I guess Cindy and I are still stuck watching programs on the dvr so that we can avoid all of the political advertisements for Saxby Chambliss and his opponent. Such fun. You are able to take measures to eliminate unwanted calls, but you can't get away from the obnoxious political adds until the process is over.
It is chilly in the office today and I am going to put my vest on at lunch time. Things are quiet around here. I've got lots to do, but little to show for it lately.
I was listening to two rental house magnates speaking earlier this fall. One asked the other if he wanted his rent paid in checks or cash. His response was that he didn't want checks or cash, just the promise of payment.
I guess a lot of us are like that these days.
