VOTE!

There's no excuse. Unless you're in the hospital, you need to vote on Tuesday, Nov 2nd.  I know, in many cases, your choice is the lesser of 2 evils. But NOT Voting in NOT the answer. Complacency will get you/us nowhere.

I was on a couple of volunteer conference calls with Barbara Boxer this week. She says both she and Jerry Brown have tons of support. But—and this is a big but—the % of Democratic and Independent voters is smaller in mid-term elections than it is for Republicans. Simply put: Republicans vote. So Democrats and Independents, make sure you vote too!

And ladies, we got the right to vote 90 years ago. Don't waste it! See my Aug post. http://sfpaula.blogspot.com/2010/08/happy-birthday-womens-suffrage.html

Or you can call this post: You can't take Paula anywhere!

I frequently complain about the unruly people I meet on the bus or on the streets of SF. Well, yesterday I was the unruly one.

Yesterday I had my eyes refracted/dilated. After I left my doctor's office, I went into a diner for lunch, wearing my cool sunglasses. Of course, I couldn't see very well, which, I guess explains why I kept asking the deaf man sitting next to me what time it was. I couldn't understand why he wasn't answering me until a woman leaned over me and said, “Lady, seriously, he can't hear you . It's 1:30.”

C'mon the sun was in my eyes! Sure...

Then about an hour later I was in Walgreens where I knocked over an entire display of candy. And then I dropped my change purse and had to ask someone to help me pick up my pennies.

By some miracle I got home safely. What a lunatic!
