Election Day.  Primaries.  How many will exercise their right to vote? I think of election day images from other nations.
We stand our vigil a few yards South of the path to the ballot drop box; obeying the signs that censor campaigning within a specific area.  It is a different perspective - closer to the traffic signal.
 An array of smiling children waving at us.  I love that some parents lower the window so we can readily see the children.  What do they tell their children about war?  What does a veteran of these wars tell their children about the children of Iraq & Afghanistan.  I'm haunted with only a distanced knowledge.
10 of us.
