3 1/2 Hour Voting, Space Invaders, and Money for Gas

I voted. I waited in line from 4:20 p.m. until 7:50 p.m. but I was finally able to cast my vote. No complaints about waiting because regardless of what party you vote for I sincerely believe we live in the greatest country on the face of the Earth. We demonstrate this every 4 years with a bloodless transition of power. Not many countries can accomplish this without riots and civil wars. No complaints from waiting. It was awesome to see everyone involved plus I got to invite several people to church.

One complaint I did have during the process, space invaders. Melissa and I came face to face with a real life space invader. This person was standing extremely close and violated more than 20-30 times our personal space bubble. What's worse is that this person had stinky breathe. It got so bad that Melissa offered me money for gas. That's right she said she would give me $5 if I would just rip one and move said person away just a bit. Rules of line etiquette permit a person stand no closer than 2 feet. Inside that is considered to be personal body area. Please keep this in mind of you're ever in a line such as Carowinds, After Thanksgiving Sale at Best Buy, water and battery give out line after a Hurricane, waiting for the Wee Way people mover at Disney, etc etc. Remember if you're within arm's reach then you're too close.
