Election Day Aftermath
Reflections on an Election Day
Tuesday morning, the 7th of November, started out somewhat normal.
For a change, thank goodness, there were no loud, garrulousness,
political, advertisements on local radio or television. The phones
were no longer ringing incessantly with campaign worker's making
demands on your time and patience. Outside, one could hear the
birds chirping. A lone dog could be heard barking in someone's
backyard. For a moment, the world seemed normal again.
