Yogurt and neighbors in the voting line

I am definitely not an early bird but my husband is another story. So, he was out the door at 6AM so he could vote, come back to get ready and then go to his office. He was the fourth in line, beat by a woman who was first and then a couple of guys, at a church around the corner. Though he was unhappy about the rain, he really didn't complain much as he was inside the church this year vs. having to wait outside to vote in a little trailer on the grounds. He was also surprised by the scan-tron ballot that he had to ink out his choices on vs. a touch screen voting machine. The older gentleman volunteer wasn't sure why the machine wasn't reading his ballot until another poll worker came along and asked him to tear off the segments at the bottom. That did the trick but he wondered why he couldn't have a paper trail if this piece was originally part of his ballot.

I, forgoing my tradition of going later for fear of lines, decided to vote in my sweats right after dropping off a child at school. With three precincts in the building, my line was the longest with most people dressed for the office. It took over 30 minutes and the lady in front of me had to call in late as she was not anticipating a line this early. The head poll worker who had worked in this district 12 years indicated it was definitely a high turnout thus far. The gentleman behind me happened to be one of the builders from the area who seemed to know everyone. There was the couple who had recently moved to Indian Hill and not yet re-registered, joking about not really belonging there. And then there was the neighbor who has hosted events for members of both main political parties, moving comfortably between diverse candidates depending on the issues and his best interest.

Oh yes, the yogurt. There was the lady who had her breakfast, a yogurt with some 'smelly' stuff in it, that was in line behind my husband. That seemed to be the thing he remembered the most.

Who or what was in line with you at the polling station that seemed to have stuck with you?
