Code Neon Blue!

It’s a good thing that stuff comes along in life to keep us humble, right?

I should have known this was coming when Annajo Sanchez asked me last week about upcoming elections in Lamar, and all I could say was “Durr?” My feeble excuse was that I don’t actually live IN Lamar, and therefore since I am not eligible to vote for city issues, I hadn’t paid too much attention to it. (I KNOW. Bad activist. No biscuit. Or pizza.)

Then the mail-in ballots came to our house. “Huh,” I said, wondering what was up with that. Oh. School board posts. Okay, should be within my capabilities, I thought.

But no. The ballots had candidates listed for four different districts. Do we live in four different districts? No wonder I’m always so tired….

I had to call the courthouse to ask. The very kind and patient clerk explained to me that school districts are not the same as precincts, and we were in fact entitled to cast votes in all four on our ballot.

Told you I am still a New Bee about a lot of this political stuff. But, live and learn!
