I yam a patriotical! Important voting day information!

I finally found an advantage to living in a neighborhood where a large prooportion of residents start up their deisel trucks to go to work at 5 in the AM.  At 8:00 in the morning, the lines at the local polling place have all cleared up.   I have to say I was gratified to see a mix of retirees and high-school students working the polls; I can't think of a better civics lesson.

That said, here's important information for anyone who has done their patriotic duty this fine day:

Starbucks near San Jose

Ben and Jerry's near San Jose

Krispy Kremes in the South Bay

I think I may be able to hit three of the Ben and Jerry's, and about 15 of the Starbucks.  That should keep me wired enough to stay up through the election.

Now, if you haven't voted, GO AND VOTE!

Ben & Jerry's and Krispy Kreame give us food too? Awesome!

Yep! Pity the closest Krispy Kreme is in Mountain View. I guess the Starbucks ninjas havve been keeping them out of Silicon Velley.

Wait, are the schools off today? Or are the high-schoolers just skipping class then?

I think it's part of a class, honestly. Or they could be seniors, with more flexible schedules.
