Yes, I voted. No, I won't tell you who I voted for. Here in Santa Cruz county (I don't know about other counties) you can register as a "permanent absentee voter," so you don't even have to ask for the absentee ballot, they just send it.

Sometimes it just seems special to be a native Californian, not an immigrant. 6:56:02 PM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []
