On being a patriot and ADA violations

Listening to: Tales of a Librarian - Tori Amos

I realized today that people are all too willing to help out when touch screens aren't accessible for voting. Yes, it's not one size fits all. And though I find it very sweet when the volunteers hold the screen up, move it closer, or even turn it upside down so I can hit the blinking "vote" button, I do tend to get nervous when that same nice volunteer starts making remarks about my choices! Had they been snide, I would have ruined the entire experience for everyone currently in that room. Needless to say it was an interesting day.

I voted. I waited in line for an hour in no air-conditioning to vote, but it's done. Two people almost commited vehicular homicide, but my scooter and I got there in one piece. Seriously, who's bright idea was it to set up an early voting site right across from a high school and elementary school with no sidewalk. San Antonio just doesn't believe in sidewalks apparently. And then they're so baffled as to why they're so many wheelchair fatalities on the roads.

Anyway, go vote!
