Week 3, Day 2 (June 22nd)
I rode my bike to R. D. Anderson today to vote! It was only about 6 miles away, and in so doing I was able to kill two birds with one stone (though I am not condoning animal cruelty). It is a wonderful, beautiful, sacred right and freedom to vote. It is also a wonderful right and freedom to cycle down the road, using your bike as your vehicle. I practiced both rights today and am proud of it!
I do not know how the poll workers felt when they saw me, though. I tried to clean myself up a bit before I went in, but it's difficult to mop up 30 minutes worth of sweat effectively without a Sham Wow or something. I got a lot of strange looks from fellow voters, and received a couple fire ant bites for good measure.
After it was all said and done, though, my ride was successful and my vote was successful.
