It's been a rough few days of voter registration, cold and rainy, and hours of work didn't produce much on Sat or Sun. So this morning I'm outside at 7:45A in chilly drizzle, asking again "Are you registered to vote?"
"You!" he says, jabbing his finger at me as he walks by without slowing. "You hooked me up! I got my registration card with the Saturday mail! Thank you!"
Sometimes people remember the small efforts you make on their behalf. A while later, he passes in the opposite direction and thanks me again
