Kevin urged me to go vote. I walked up after he got home.

cause it was a cool afternoon and I needed some steps. One of the workers questioned the ballet I selected. Was I sure? yea. I was. oh. ok. (probably concerned looks at the tables.) I can vote Libertarian if I want to. 'merica. on way home, a long time acquaintance slowed down to see if I was ok, did I need a ride? a kind, concerned question to ask a 61 year old woman you rarely see out of her house. I told him I was intentionally walking, thanks. He laughed and drove on.
