Today, I am an Iowan

Today I went to the library, intent on checking my email, and there were a bunch of volunteers sitting there, because it was a voting site for the primary election. Now, I had two glasses of wine before I left the house, so I smiled chummily at the old lady standing there, walked up, and said, "Can you check if I'm registered?? I really have no idea!" The volunteers, though probably not terribly impressed with my level of civic responsibility, dutifully looked up my name. "Yes!" one said. "But you have to go to the senior center." Not to be thwarted by mere geography, I trooped up the hill, arms swinging a bit too merrily, and grabbed a newspaper on the ped mall, to find out who to vote for. I made it to the Senior Center with 15 minutes to spare, and exercised my rights and responsibilities as an American.

Voting drunk...I really am turning into an Iowan...
