Voting and more

Random experiences from Election Day...

I got to vote in the cutest little township hall ever. My last polling place was the Lauderdale City Hall. It was just fine as polling places go, but the Warsaw Township Hall (which is nestled amongst some cornfields) was much more charming.








There's a big grain elevator in Dennison. Yesterday it was raining flakes of some kind of agricultural commodity. (Looked to me like little corncob bits but I'm pretty clueless about such things. Do they actually grind up corncobs?) Whatever it was, it looked pretty cool swirling around the curbs.








I got to ride in my first Serious Farm Pickup, complete with broken mirror, brake light that never went off, and an apparent inability to exceed 40 mph. My supervisor (here she is driving) borrowed it to transport some stuff, and I got roped in because we did a pastoral care visit together in conjunction with the transporting. Good thing I didn't chop off my foot with that knife that I didn't see until now!








Just another day in the life, eh?
