Introduction
Today was the Tennessee State primary and Knox County election day. Peer pressure by the media and politicians encourages early voting. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman and I are not swayed by peer pressure. We vote, early and often, on election day.
This 105th entry in the life (such as it is) topic section shares our experiences at the nearby voting location. The conclusion comes clean about how “early and often” we vote on election day.
Election Day Experiences
Before our first votes, my wife and I, in my 2006 Frontier, hauled off trash and recycling. The weather was warm, humid, and partly sunny. Pungent odor from the trash center clung to my T-shirt. Thankfully, it dissipated as we traveled the short distance to vote. Rolling the windows down helped. I wanted politicians to smell my vote, not the trash center!
Earlier this year, on the March 5th Knox County primary election day, I was pleasantly surprised to be reacquainted with a grade school and high school classmate! Ann and I graduated from high school together. Her husband and she live nearby. Today, my wife met Ann, whom I was glad to see again. Once cooler weather arrives, I hope that Ann, her husband, my wife, and I can hike Norris Dam State Park together!
Back outside after voting, my wife and I enjoyed an excellent conversation with Dave Wright, a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, and Travis Wright, a member of the Knox County Board of Education. Dave Wright and I have met and talked awhile on many previous election days, sometimes when my wife was with me. Today was our first opportunity to meet Travis Wright. As I told both men, with no pun intended, they are on the right path!
This brief article encourages Knox County readers, who live in House District 19 and County District 8, to strengthen, support, and assist Dave Wright and Travis Wright in their political stances. They are men of God. They have a truly biblical worldview. Likewise, they support biblical and traditional values. These men know how to contact me. I am at their beck and call should they call upon me to assist them.
After voting, my wife and I spent too much money on the usual food staples at the local grocery store. We don't blame the store. Inflation has driven the price of groceries so high that we are used to it. A dollar ain't worth much these days. Well, ten dollars isn't worth much.
Conclusion
Today, my wife and I did vote fairly early, but we didn't vote often. I'll come clean and be honest! I wonder how so many politicians and political groups get my cell phone number! For weeks, we have received several political mailings. That is expected. My cell phone has been hammered with texts from former President Trump, Tennessee Senator Massey, and Monica Irvine (Massey's challenger on the Republican ballot). I block and report as spam those texts.
Dave Wright and Travis Wright do not hammer my cell phone with texts! I think that Trump, Massey, and Irvine wanted me to vote early and often!
