2012 - Day 213/173 - Tuesday...

I'll take Texas Primary Run-Offs for $600 Alex.  Answer:  Precinct 425 in Bartlett, Texas.  Question:  What is the best kept secret location in Williamson County?  I am just having to tell you this, it was easy to find the voting place on-line, not a problem at all.  AND Bartlett, Texas is really not that big of a place at all, in fact, it is a REALLY small town (and that is being generous).  BUT we wandered around for about 20 minutes looking for this place, and even with a navigation system we passed it by.  We FINALLY found it.  The unmarked and unremarkable location of this polling place might be part of the reason that Jody and I were the 16th and 17th voters for the day, and it was almost 5 o'clock when we cast our ballots.

I got into the office even earlier than usual today, I had stuff to do for the end of the month.  More stuff to do tomorrow for the beginning of the month, so I expect to be in a little earlier than usual again.

It was pretty much a fun day, it was nice and calm for the most part.  I got to participate in the production of a TREPAC video at the Texas Association of REALTORS offices.  Our ABoR TREPAC Vice-Chair (Stephen) had the best idea for a video several months ago at a TAR meeting (he won the contest), and we finally got the chance today to make the video.  It was a lot of fun.  I played the part of 'that guy', and I am looking forward to the finished product.

I left the office at around 3 o'clock this afternoon, so I could pick Jody up and we could go vote.  On the way home, there was a wreck in Georgetown (the second in less than one week).  There are not supposed to be wrecks in Georgetown.  It is 35 miles away from Austin.  Whatever.  Then when I got off on my exit, there was road work being done, and I was stopped for about 10 minutes waiting for the 'pilot vehicle' to lead me out of the maze.  But you know what, when I turned onto our road, Hubert was busy loading sorghum into his truck to be taken to the grain elevator in a day or two.  I was not the least bit annoyed that I could not get around or had a delay.  I guess the difference is I know Hubert, I know he would not inconvenience me on purpose, and I know that what he is doing is important.

It kind of makes me think I should re-evaluate the other inconveniences in my life.  I really and honestly doubt that any one is singling me out personally to be inconveniences.  So, the next time I get stuck in traffic because of something I have absolutely no control over, I am going to try and remember that I was (most likely) not singled out personally to be inconvenienced.  AND, I hope I will think kindly of the folks that were involved in the traffic accidents., maybe even trying to send good thoughts their way.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, INCONVENIENCES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
