GREAT voting experience with an omen! |
|
We went to pick up some x-rays, then started over to the voting place. Now, my fave album of all time is Abbey Road by the Beatles, same for John Kerry. Just as we're driving, Side 2 comes on, and for those who dont know, it's a suite, no breaks between songs, called The Golden Slumbers Suite. So that comes on. Im like WOW! Just as Im going to vote! The weird part is we drove at a normal MPH, red lights, etc. but JUST as we found a parking space, and stopped, the last note was uttered. It was so ODD, we didnt TRY and slow down to make it last, nothing, normal driving and just as we stopped when we parked, it ended. I was almost crying, it was so so wonderful!
No one in the voting place, we went right in (we still have the old fashioned handle pull thing with levers to pull down) and after I pulled my levers, I placed my hand over the "JK/JE" placecard and asked God to smile on America today.
The end!
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make...

Thank you. Hopefully John and George (Lennon and Harrison-not the candidates!) are looking down and helping us out. They are two guys who cared about peace.

I never knew that his favorite album was mine too!!
Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby

12. On my last day of GOTV in Ft. Lauderdale |

just as we got back, it was raining, and we were all standing out in the parking lot and we saw a rainbow come out.
It was beautiful.

16. What a beautiful story! |

God, I'm sitting here at work, shaking like a leaf. We're really doing it, aren't we? We're really making history, toppling the Bush Regime...it's finally starting to hit me.
P.S. "Abbey Road" is my fave Beatles album also.
