Well, I had written what I thought was a respectable follow-up to the outcome of the election with my thoughts on the entire matter, including my political beliefs to support the way I voted. Yesterday afternoon I was one click away from posting, but then I got to thinking. I ended up scrapping it, which I’ll briefly explain below.

Firstly, as I wrote about on Tuesday morning, I made a point to wake up earlier than normal and register my vote before work. At that time the line was fairly lengthy stretching outside the school, and the entire process took me about an hour. But, I was convinced that after work during those final couple hours the line would be even longer.

Well, the curiousity got the best of me so after leaving work I decided to do a drive-by at my voting precinct, which is Virginia Heights Elementary School. Much to my surprise I saw no line outside the building and even the parking lot was only about half-full. I probably could’ve walked in and out in under 5 minutes!

Oh well. I’ll have to remember that in 2 and 4 years.

Yesterday, I had written several paragraphs essentially outlying my political beliefs and ultimately showing why I voted the way I did. I’m not sure why because I don’t particularly care to talk about politics, it’s just not a major focus of my life. I do my own research and make my own decision and that’s enough for me.

But I admit, I became passionate amongst all the hoopla in regards to the election and was anxious to put in my 2 cents. But, I got to thinking…

I don’t particularly like politics being shoved down my throat, and I wasn’t about to do just that and by using this site as a medium.

I established this site to write about Roanoke and my experiences living in this quaintly unique city. I’d just assume keep in that way, because I much prefer writing about that stuff, and hopefully you much prefer reading it.

On that note, I’ll update again tomorrow with a new post on Lick Run Greenway. Next week, I hope to update with some pictures of the changing season in the Roanoke area.

As always, thanks for reading.
