Election Day 3

A vote mob representative called me about an hour ago to let me know that one of my students might be late for my 5:30 class. He'd apparently already been in line for an hour. I certainly can't fault the student, its seems that he'd set aside three hours for voting, which is a reasonable amount of time.

Now the student in question is pretty engaged with the class and a good sense of humor, I wouldn't put it past him to have the volunteer call-in just because he could, when they first put phones on planes people would call home just to say "guess where I am".

Still that's a long line, and that's real news from somewhere close to the front lines.

The bamboo is still doing well. Night is falling, I can't really see much of the hill at this point. You know that's where the national guard stood back in 1970?
