It’s Election Day in Arkansas.  Hopefully, you’ve already taken advantage of Early Voting and cast your ballot for the best  Arkansas candidate.  If not, why not hop on over to your polling place and do that right now.  What an important freedom we have to participate in the electoral process.

You may be as tired as I am of all of the campaign ads (which, of course, will be with us through November anyway), the political flyers and events, and the robocalls.  Hubby just told me that I was wasting my time trying to carry  on a conversation  with the robocall guys.  But I figure if they can get all personal asking me how I’m going to vote, then I should return the favor and ask about whether or not they have on clean underwear and all.  My momma would be so proud of me for that.

 

In addition to voting for your public officials, it’s also time to enter your the Arkansas Times “Best of Arkansas” vote, and I seriously hope you will take a moment from your day to go do that.  The voting ends on June 23.

While you’re there, could you take an extra minute or two to locate the Best Blog category?  Keep moving on through the pages.  I promise it will eventually show up.  Your vote for ArkansasWomenBloggers.com would be lovingly appreciated.  Or, any of our #ARWB member blogs if you are otherwise inclined.

I promise. (Don’t most politicians do that?) There will NOT be any campaign materials sent to you through the mail.  Nor will you receive yet another robocall.  Actually, I won’t even friendly call you.  Sorry.  You don’t have the time for that, and I probably don’t either.  Retirement does have a way of keeping me busy.

Anyway, it’s probably raining again today so you can’t get outside to lounge around the pool or plant zinnias or marigolds in the garden.  While away your time by filling in at least 10 of the voting categories on the “Best of Arkansas” form (online or in print)…it will at least be an interesting read.

Thanks a bunch.
