voting day

Talk about motivation on a large scale! When I walked out my house to get coffee this morning, our local voting precinct had a line around the corner. Okay, it was only about 50 people long, but given that there are lots of voting precincts in San Francisco (there are about 5 within three blocks of my home), and given that I've seen this particular location every voting day for the past fifteen years, I "can assure you my friends" that the line today was much much much longer than I've ever seen before.

Unfortunately someone didn't seem to get the news. Check out this video (courtesy of Jozsef):

I couldn't believe we had a line at our location either -- I've never waited behind more than one person (usually my husband).
