Your Blogress: on Election Day (Tuesday)


Your Blogress has "volunteered" to scrutineer on Tuesday from early morn to late at night, meaning that everytime anyone votes, I put an "X" on that person's enumeration number. Eventually, an ally will rush over from Campaign Headquarters, pick up these "bingo" sheets, and harass any of OUR voters who have not voted to get out there and VOTE. Meanwhile, your Blogress sits there. Drinking coffee. Making X's.

Now, you will note the words, "early morn." This means REALLY EARLY. Like, I must be on the spot at 8 o'clock IN THE MORNING. Many readers of this Blog may look puzzled and murmur, "sooo??". Those people are the kind of people who say "The Early Bird Catches the Worm!! Yayyy!". This is not true. To catch worms, you take a bucket and a flashlight and wander around in the dirt LATE AT NIGHT.

One of the great heroes of the human race, Winston Churchill (photographed here early in the morning), described this division of humanity in a charming and NON JUDGEMENTAL manner: We are (morning) Larks, or we are (evening) Nightingales (catching the worms). The twain meets somewhere around noon.
