xiphiasMy polling place is in an apartment building for the elderly -- folks who are living on their own, but prefer to live in an elder community. They hold a bake sale every general election. They don't do it for the primaries, just the general ones. And it's not a fundraiser for anything -- they just like baking, so they pretty much charge for ingredients.
Buck twenty-five for a giant homemade cream puff. It was fantastic. It was slightly bigger than a McDonald's hamburger (y'know, not the quarter-pounder or anything -- the one on the dollar menu), and the filling tasted a bit like eggnog -- I think I detected a little brandy in there, and it was yellowish like it was made with real butter.
I was voter #382, according to the little counter on the ballot box, and I asked the poll worker how many voters there are in Ward 1, Precinct 2. There are something like 1060 or so, so, by noon, we had a third of the eligible voters turn out already. And the highest turnout is usually after work. She was expecting at least 65% or so, for a midterm election.
