I voted early - it took 15 minutes, and I had no problem. The early voting at the college was INSANE on Friday - couldn't find parking, and once in the building the line snaked all over the first floor. So far things seem to be going well in the Houston TX area - I was concerned that Ike would have somehow messed things up. I need to do some research about things in Galveston.

How are things shaping up in your neck of the woods?

It's definitely not over yet!

15 minutes to vote? WOW! You have it good in Texas! Here in Florida, people are waiting 3 to 4 hours to vote early! I stood in line after work yesterday and finally got out in an hour and a half--That's amazing... according to some of my neighbors. It took one lady 3 hours to vote on Thursday. It scares me. If this is the case for early voting, imagine how chaotic voting day will be.

Rachel Maddow made a point yesterday on her show. With lines as long as 8 hours in some states, it can be considered a 'voting tax.' How many people can afford to take 8 hours off of work? Especially in the economic climate we're in.

This election has certainly been exciting. I'm just ready to know who will be the next president. It's been two years... i'm getting a bit impatient!! ha ha
