So yesterday was the local school and library voting - budgets and board members. For some reason, no one ran for library board. As I was entering the high school gym to vote, I ran into the editor of the local paper, and I asked her why no one was running. She lit up and said "write yourself in". So I did.
This morning, I woke up to an email from said editor, subject line reading:
You and Bill Clinton got same number of votes!
Out of 62 write-in votes, I got two, Bill got two, and the winner got 34. So, I lost the race, but I'm totally tickled by the results.
I love this story. It's one of the few parts of smaller town life that tickle me.
