Vote at all costs






 
Happy election day, America.  May the odds be ever in our favor. 
 
I voted via absentee ballot a while ago but forgot to post this until today, whoops.  I did need to mail it by a certain date, though, and the post office is only open on weekdays and closes shortly after I leave from work.  So, I rode my bike as fast as I could through the pouring rain and came in at just five minutes to closing time, dripping wet, with a rather complicated request (I had to have the envelope formatted a certain way with the signiture and official election mail logo on a certain side, and I tried to explain the pre-paid postage but wasn't able to get it across so I ended up paying 20 bucks anyway, but darn it I was going to vote).  And I did, in fact, forget to bring an envelope with me when I went there.  So even though I didn't actually burst in with a loud bang, I'm sure it seemed a bit like it. 
 
In related news, in a few hours I will know whether I'm going to stay the full five years here or if it will be safe to go home.
