I must say, I wouldn’t worry about slugs, I would worry about ticks! At any rate, it sometimes pays to be careful.

We Voted!
Andy and I voted yesterday morning, which always warms my heart. I like going in person because the people are so friendly and it’s never busy if we vote early. They appreciate us coming in, and we appreciate them taking the time to be there.
This time instead of the usual “I Voted” stickers, they had cards using designs created by school kids.
How neat is that, to get school children involved in the voting process.
Anyway, going there always makes my day.

This Brings Back a Memory
When we were living in France I smelled gas in our kitchen, so I went down and told the resident manager. He came up, agreed there was a leak but was unperturbed. He walked over to the joint where the stove was hooked up to the line coming in, and he lit a match. Sure enough, he found the problem — you could see the ring of flame where the leak was. He tightened the joint and the problem was fixed.
Needless to say, I was not as relaxed as he was. As he lit the match, I was over in the doorway, wondering if it would do any good to run. I still don’t know if he knew what he was doing or if we were both incredibly lucky. That was 60 years ago, and the memory is still vivid.

Can You Relate to This?
I think this is a great cartoon, even if it doesn’t apply to Andy and me right now. What do you think?
