Polls..civilized.  Andrea, I am DUAL citizen..Canadian and American.  My boys were both born on American soil..Bryan is a "native Texan" (now that is coveted..amongst people living in Texas..'cause otherwise one needs to be Baptized in the Brazos River etc..), and Robert is a "native Tarheel".   Daddy had them made "en addition" Canadjun 2 years ago.  So...they are also Dual. 

Voting felt so good, and free...that I was uplifted.

Kerry rocked the joint here in Maryland, and I'm not..ahem..saying..choke, cough, whom I voted for.  He got 60% of the vote! 

As Bonnie Prince Charlie said at the onset of the Battle of Culloden..."I believe we will prevail..for 'tis God on our side".  (You'd have to hear me say this in my very best Glasgow accent, but that will take some Whiskey..perhaps  at your Birthday celebration!).
