election

I had to stand in line 2 hours 10 minutes to vote. The people who came early in the morning had to stand in line about 3 hours, from one person's account. By 12:30pm, when I was getting out, the lines were somewhat shorter, and when we drove by at 6:50pm (polls close at 7pm), it looked almost empty.

Neat word of the day: gallimaufry - a jumble or hodgepodge, motley assortment of things, confused medley... hotchpotch! Now, that's another neat word (not that hodgepodge itself isn't neat too...)
