Voting in the Middle-of-Nowhere

My 85-year old mother Joan voting in the Dixie Christian Church basement today.

I live in the middle-of-nowhere; our house is located off-a-gravel-road which itself is off-a-gravel-road. There are a lot of disadvantages to living in a remote rural area:

• No good restaurants
• No art museums or galleries
• No theater
• No live music

But there are a couple of advantages. One is that voting is fast, easy and pleasant. There was no line when I showed up to vote today; just four friendly volunteers to help me. They all knew my name; no one asked for identification.

Another advantage of living here is that nature can be right at your backyard. I don't have to travel anywhere to take my nature pictures, I can just walk out the door.

I wouldn't move if you paid me!
