So, I voted this morning. It was in a Baptist church just a block north of my apartment building, so I had a short early morning walk.
There was a LONG line, and it took me over half an hour to get from the door to the table where I got my ballot.
ANYWAYS... the Oz connection?
There were three stations for people to go to, according to their last initial. These were separated into two table. The stations were marked "A-F," "G-N," and "O-Z."
That reminded me of the story of L. Frank Baum getting the name of Oz from his filing cabinet. It's not clear if this story is true or not, and I've heard two versions. The most common version says his cabinet had two drawers, "A-N" and "O-Z." The other says it had three, "A-G," "H-N," "O-Z."
Whatever. It's enough that he came up with such a catchy name!
And yeah, if you haven't voted yet, go! (Unless you're not a registered US voter.)
If the second one is true, it's a good thing we didn't end up with the Land of Ag, or Hn.
