I tried to come up with something pithy and original for today's #MM, but (like most of the planet, I'm sure), I can't think of much else today beyond tomorrow's U.S. election. Being Canadian, I don't get a vote -- but -- whatever the result -- we will feel the impact too.
My mother is American (and cast an absentee ballot), and I have lots of relatives and friends there, across the political spectrum. I'm thinking tonight of my Grandma, who was an elections worker in Minnesota for many years, and my Grandpa, who once told me he cast his first vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s, because he thought he was "a real nice man."
We'll be watching the results unfold tomorrow night (and in the days ahead too, I'm sure) and hoping for a good outcome all round. As I mentioned a few posts ago, dh & I are supposed to be watching our diets and trying to lower our cholesterol -- but he brought home a bag of chips for tomorrow night. (If you can't indulge in comfort food/snacks at a time like this...) ;)
Keep calm, stay safe, and VOTE.
