Well, I'm back... again. I have been out the past several hours, taking care of some business, and engaging in a spot of relaxation at one of my favorite places in Houston. While there, I got some good photos of the new baby elephant, which I hope to have on the website soon.

As far as the elections goes: it appears all quiet on the (south-)western front. I drove by my polling place twice since I went to vote, and neither time did I see any sort of line. There were some cars parked along the street, but no great big group of people waiting to vote. Not even a little group. Heck, I saw a longer line of people waiting to get lunch at the Macaw cafe over at the zoo!

The same was true for the other polling places I drove by in my travels - both in Ft Bend and Harris counties. I did, however, hear reports of lines at some polling places.

One thing I forgot to mention when I was voting -- I glanced at the voter rolls, and noticed that every page had several entries which were marked "voted early". This may help explain the light turnout (because, believe me, I saw lines at the polling places where early voting was being conducted last week.)

Now, it is time to wait until the polls close, and the analysis, rantings, armchair quarterbacking, and recriminations begin!
