I voted today, and damn it felt good. Much like many other states, Oregon has mail-in ballots, so we're able to "vote early." None of that 'folding chad' nonsense and all the prototype touchscreen computers for us - just the danger of mail theft, I guess.

Anyway, I couldn't wait to get my ballot. I feel like I've been waiting forever to vote. But, now it's over and I have to wait. I have to wait, amongst non-stop television ads, last minute campaign rallies, and all the continuing press coverage.



The biggest thing I'm worried about is finding out that someone I voted for all-of-a-sudden has a huge scandal uncovered. How much would that suck? I can just imagine turning on the television and see breaking news coverage, "John Kerry threw a newborn baby in a dumpster back in 1995." Oh man! What can I do? Nothing, I already voted for the baby...um...dumpster guy.

[fingers crossed]

Hijacked.

I saw a thing on the news last night that caught my attention. A news team was kidnapped in Alabama and forced at (i think) gunpoint to go get money from various ATMS. I've been in enough weird places, where I could totally see something terrible like that happening. I wonder if I can carry pepper spray. Gonna need to check on that.
