Most likely I'll be working when the polls are open on election day so being a good citizen, I decided to take advantage of a vote early campain since this is my day off and I can afford a few hours for the process.  I've heard of lines lasting five hours and I decided before I went that max amount of patience I would have for waiting would be 1-1/2 hours.  I decided rather than fidget around like I would normally do, I would read a book instead.  So, armed with my sample ballot, book and comfortable shoes I set out for the library polling place.  I selected a library that I felt had the best opportunity to have the shortest line and selected mid-morning as a time slot, hoping for success.  Parking was a litttle bit of a challenge but I managed to snag a spot after a little circling of the area.  When I got in queue I looked at the sign and posted time from that point was one hour and twenty minutes.  So far so good.  I cracked open my book and started to read.  Well, my attention was soon distracted by three people in front of me and a gentleman in back of me voicing their very firm political opinions.  In an effort to get some respite from the bantering I offered to let him step in line in front of me and join the others...he refused (that is until the last 100 yards to the balloting booth)...the wait turned out a bit longer than the 1-1/2 hours but it was tolerable as this library had art work displayed along the way and I had my book to read.  However, after trying to ignore the very vocal conversations surrounding me for nearly two hours, I was struck by the thought that these four people were strangely similar to each other but VERY different than me.  Not only did we differ in causes and candidates, but I was very intrigued by the significant difference in mental processing they used to reach conclusions.  I came away appreciating the uniqueness we cultivate in our lives and astounded that four so seemingly strange people managed to find each other!
