Ballot Box Dept.

I don't normally talk about politics, if only because most of what I have to say on this subject is echoed by others elsewhere, better, but here goes.

1) If you were in a voting booth, no matter what levers you pulled, thank you.

2) If you were in a voting booth and made your choices based on engagement, consideration and care, thank you all the more.

3) Whatever you allegiances, don't forget something: this is not a one-time thing. Keep slugging, keep voting, keep getting involved.

You probably know all that already, but hey, there's always the chance you don't.
