Like every year... I will walk my ballot down to the Fire Dep't Station down the road.

I've always like the feeling that I'm doing my part.

Even a little discomfort or inconvenience is OK because it gives me "skin in the game".

It's like going to battle in my own way... when I was younger I would vote in person at a polling place but now I just drop off my mail in ballot.

As I get older, maybe I'll start mailing it... but I hope not.

So many good memories. I felt like my votes for Obama were my own heroic efforts for change... I was 100% invested.

And then 8 years of going to sleep at night KNOWING that everything would be OK...

One way or another... a calm and steady hand was on the tiller.

Best POTUS ever

He was also the first POTUS from MY generation. He could have been a guy at work... maybe a Research Physician from Chicago??
