Why it took me so long...

Well, I did it.

I mailed out my voter registration today.

I became old enough to vote in the 90s... back then, I had heard that selection for jury duty was based on voter registration. These days, jury selection is based on driver's licenses. Since the switch, I never got around to getting registered.

I've had apprehension about being registered, because I never felt I had gathered enough knowledge about the candidates to vote correctly... I have friends who feel the same way because they don't watch the news or read the papers.

But, I went ahead and mailed it in today. My Dad's been on my case about it ever since I was 18. Deadline to register to vote for this upcoming election is 30 days prior to Election Day. Yes, I'll be heading to the polls that morning.

No rain this week? It can't be Bloomsburg Fair week... it always rains a day during the fair.

Buckle Up,
