For your grandson, Toot, I'll walk around strange neighborhoods in the dark.
I went back to the local HQ to do a 4 - 8 pm "Get out the Vote" shift. Mainly I've been doing phone calling (this was my third time at the office) as I've been reluctant to go door knocking. I've done door knocking in the past and have no problem with it in theory, but with the move to a smaller community and being new at my job where the people are a mix of political beliefs, I really haven't wanted to have the first time I'm on their doorstep being when I'm campaigning - and they're for the other guy.

But about 6ish I was asked to switch to helping with door hangers, which is a door to door thing, but you just leave the hanger, there's no knocking and talking. So, sure. So off I went with maps and hangers. After I parked, I realized I didn't have a buddy like I'd had when I did this in the cities and it was dark. But it was only 6:30 pm, even if dark in a very benign neighborhood in a pretty benign community. Plus I had a honking bright flashlight in my trunk and living in Alaska completely cured my wiggins of the dark. I am made of emergency plan win.

It took me about 1 1/2 hours to walk and hang my door tags with the specific info on where to vote and the poll hours. Boy howdy, could I tell I haven't done anything physical/exercisy in over three weeks. Talk about pounding the pavement - and I even had the right shoes for it.

And I have the wherewithal to ask if there was a election night gathering for volunteers. And there is,it's relatively nearby, and I'm so hopeful that this year won't be like the last two elections.

If you haven't already done so, remember to vote tomorrow!
