Don't Drink and Vote

Today's the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, in an even-numbered year; it's election day, here in the US of A. Mid-terms, i.e. the House of Reps and a third of the senate (as well as governors in some states).

Anyway, I just got back from the store where I saw a sign saying that it's illegal for them to sell alcohol before 6pm on election day here in Indiana! Even though the no alcohol on Sunday rule annoys me (why not a less-inconvenient day like Tuesday or Wednesday!?) I think that a dry election day is a good idea. If nothing else it might remind the winos to go out and vote.
