Midmorning Thursday – on voting day – I was struck by indecision. Just … couldn’t … decide.
Should I choose the religious guy? Or the one with the name everybody knows? The forward-thinking environmentalist? Or the one so good at promoting childhood education?

The LPs were $1 apiece.

When I voted.
