Well, good people, its Election Night here in the United States of America. While some people have to work late solving crime, others, like myself, are glued to the television. Granted, Wednesday night is my normal television night -- gets me through "Hump Day" as it were. I love trying to piece together a crime along with the detectives, although some of them are just too clever for me to keep up.
Anyway, tonight is Tuesday, Election Night, and here I am, watching the tube with a beer in one hand and tortilla chips in the other. Don't worry -- the salsa's on the table with its friend guacamole.
As I'm watching the returns come in, and realizing the record numbers of voters turning up at their polling places (most of them grumpy at being caught on camera in their pajamas), I just want to say to all of you who voted, thank you. I don't care who you voted for, I just care that you showed up, probably either in sweatpants and bedhead or in your maybe pressed/maybe not work clothes. You want to see the diversity in this country, check out your local polling place -- the kid casting her first vote, the hungover frat boy, the woman with her walker, the pissed-off guy in a suit who can't believe HE has to wait in line. All welcome pictures on this Election Day.
After all, we might be nervous, hungover, annoyed, hungry, or impatient, but we're still exercising one of our most important rights. Now if only someone would realize guacamole should be a right...
