I dropped off my ballot today. Â (We only have mail in votes here; no walk in to vote on voting day). Â Still a waiting game; a few more days and we will see what happens. Â A part of me is worried about the losing sides supporters going a little bit nuts, but mostly I expect business as usual either way.

Have you noticed that this election season that something is missing? Â I have seen very few bumper stickers and almost no yard signs dealing with the presidential race. Â There are some corners that practically bristle with posts and campaign requests, most years. Â I’ve seen a few for local/state office (although it still seems low) and for state measures, but I can’t recall one Clinton/Trump bumper sticker or yard sign.
At first I thought well, maybe everyone is too afraid to proclaim thier support for HRC or Trump, out of concern that they might get vandalized or ridiculed. Â Or maybe, more people are like me, completely apathetic with no strong feelings, except disgust, for both major presidential candidates. Â Of course, it could be more innocuous; maybe campaigns aren’t spending money on that kind of advertising this year, relying on digital media to get thier message out there. Â I’m probably the last person in the US who doesn’t follow twitter. Â (I hate twitter. Â Are we all so stupid that we can’t comprehend more than 255 characters anymore? Â It’s nothing but sound bites and I hate it).
