Whim voting

This last Saturday, GA and I went to the Sienna Club or whatever it's called to get our ID cards, which will allow us entry to the Swimming Pool / Water park / fitness center thing. It so happened that it was also election day for the local school board, which is pretty much for all of Fort Bend County. There were two people standing just outside the limit for electioneering, which was easy to do because it wasn't a school. They introduced themselves, and thanked us for voting.

We got our cards, and decided what the heck, why not go ahead and vote for these guys?

So we did, and while we were at it we voted against the bond issue. We always vote against bond issues unless we have a good reason to vote for it, which has never happened yet. And as always, the bond issue passed in spite of our NO vote.

But we were pleased to find that the two people we supported for the school board were both challengers! And at last check, one of them was winning and the other was in a close race, such that they were going to have to keep counting or something.

And we got our ID badges, and of course GA's has a misspelling, but I don't think that will keep us out of the pool.
