Today's Accurate and Short Tracking
I wanted to vote earlier this morning but time got away from me, as usual. I left the doggies home since I knew the election officials would not allow me to bring them inside, and since the voting place is normally a school in session, I didn't want them left outside to attract attention.
Trouble is, when I got there, no voting apparatus was in sight. Evidently since this is an "Off" non-Presidential election year, the voting will take place at the Village Offices in downtown Tijeras.
I considered riding the 7 miles or so down into Tijeras, but I have commitments this evening and cannot afford to risk getting home too late. PLUS, I need to check online and find out exactly where the voting IS taking place.
It was pretty cold this morning but I layered up, with a wicking thermal long sleeve shirt, flaming yellow biking tee shirt on top of that, and the windbreaker on top of that. I also donned the polar fleece skull cap and the mid-winter mittens. (When it gets down to freezing and below, I wear muk-luk style gloves with chemical hand warmers inside. I can barely work the shift levers, but it keeps the fingers from freezing.)
I did not get overheated until I started back home, climbing the slow hill toward the intersection of Frost Road and North-14. I stopped at the Post Office for mail and then screamed downhill eastward toward home, unzipping a couple layers when I got to the turnoff onto our goat-path uphill mile of private road to the house.
