Silver for Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, Alicia and I visited her grandmother ("Nanna") and her Aunt Maxine and Uncle Ron in Silver City, New Mexico. We drove down I-10 through Tucson and then at Lordsburg, headed up north on Hwy 90 to Silver. In total, it was about a 4 and a half to 5 hour drive. Jimmy and Julie (Alicia's parents) were there visiting as well, so it was good to be around Alicia's family for this great holiday of Thanksgiving.

It was great to get out and vote today. Alicia and I went early this morning and saw a long line coming out of the community center. We got in line and then were told we were in the wrong line, which was perfectly fine because the line we were supposed to be in was at least half as long. :) Then, after being in the new line for a couple of minutes we heard, "If your last name begins with the letter 'S' through 'Z' please get into the line on the right!" Finally, it pays to have a last name that begins with a letter at the end of the alphabet. The third line we got in was even shorter! In no time, we were showing our id, getting our ballots, and then drawing lines with markers. Here in AZ, they have an arrow by each candidate that is disconnected in the middle. You must connect the arrow with a black marker for the candidate you wish to vote for. It's interesting how every state is different, isn't it?

Vote for Pedro

There's an effort to elect an unknown random person as President... and it's someone we know! Watch this online video about the surprising new nominee:
