While he did not get to cast an actual ballot, David did attend his first election today. All the other kids came with me too, of course. I had a chance this morning while I was out to stop off and cast my vote while I was
sans children, but I intentionally waited until later this afternoon so I could bring them all with me. As with all things, they were
very curious, and as with all things, they all had an opinion on who I should vote for. I received numerous suggestions of varying degrees of helpfulness on who would make a good write-in candidate for different offices. I also
seriously, at least for a moment, considered voting for the "My Rent Is 2 Damn High" candidate for governor. Really, how much worse could he possibly do than any of the other guys?
I should subtitle this post, "In Which the Beckers Go Through Two New Roofs In As Many Weeks." Part of the renovations that we had contracted for included a full tear-off roof. Well, the sub-contractors who installed our first new roof last week apparently did not do such a great job, according to our general contractor (because really, what do I know about roofing?) He brought in a different crew this week, who deemed it necessary to tear the whole thing back off and re-do the job. Now, I really do hate to see anybody lose their job, and I'm sorry our general contractor has to take a hit as well, but I certainly do want my roof done
right. I'm very glad that our general contractor was honest enough to correct the mistake. It's the kind of thing we wouldn't have seen or known about, at least for quite some time. But golly, for the love of peanut butter and jelly, I am ready to be
done with this project!
