That's ok, even the poll workers lack some luster. I just got back from

voting, in my " ward " there are three Ayarss'. The worker actually

argued with me about which one I was!!! I said, " my middle initial is 'F'

and I live on Cook Avenue. " She replied, " no, F Ayars lives on

Crossland Avenue, you can't be him. "

I know the other two 's, I am the only one with F as a middle

initial. It took 5 minutes and three poll workers before they would let me

vote. . .

. . . she was a tall woman, and I think she works for the government, .

.. . I smell conspiracy!!

F (J. Fred) Ayars

paranoid and definitely living on Cook Avenue !!

Did you tell her Democrates vote today and Republicans vote tomorrow?

The kinds of questions that people ask regarding voting make me wonder if

they SHOULD be voting. I am not sure that I want decisions of this magnitude

made by people who still don't know that a phone number is 7 digits. God

help us this election day.

You won't believe this....it's 5:00 in the evening here and we've had

three people call and ask where they vote. One wanted to know if it's

too late to register to vote *duh?*; the second wanted to know which

precint that she votes at. When I told her to call the board of

elections, she didn't understand how to dial thier extention. She

thought that 99125 was their phone number! (Where do these people come

from!?!?) and the third wanted to know if today is when we vote...huh?

Don't these people pay attention?

I tell you, people just need to stop and think!

Hope everyone is having a great night!

I should of told them that. I didn't take the call though.

***OK, 6:00 pm, one of our fine area troopers just called to find out

where to vote! What the !@?!?

For the most part, this night is going by smoothly....

Have a good night, Tammy and everyone else.

On election evening, we had officers doing traffic control before city hall (1

of our 2 voting places). First, the

officer pulls over a DUI. Then, when one of the other officers directs a woman

to turn a certain direction, she

tells them, " No, I am not going that way " ..then, proceeds to hit the officer and

drive off. Two arrests in just a

little time while doing traffic control! The funniest part though....the DUI

advised the officer at 630pm that all

he wanted was to finish up so he could go home and vote for ___________!! We

were all just rolling!! Guess that is

one vote that didn't get made yesterday!!
