Thank goodness the elections are over! The phone has quieted down, the robocalls have stopped – THANK GOODNESS INDEED! I was getting awfully tired of answering the phone about six times every night, just to be greeted by a pre-recorded political message. I’d simply hang up on them, but it was a huge annoyance just the same. I keep a phone by the bed in case there is an emergency and someone needs to reach me, but I do go to bed early (after all, I AM a farmer!) and I was being awakened every night for weeks with those stupid robocalls! It has been nice the past couple of nights to be able to SLEEP!
As for the aftermath of the election, so far I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised that the celebrations have been so very peaceful. I was thinking that the celebrations would be similar to the celebrations that happen after sporting events where the masses of people start to get a little carried away in their enthusiasm and end up damaging property. I’m glad to say that around here it seems that has not been the case.
