Parked my car today at my early voting place [View all]

Got out...lost my footing on the curb slipped, and took a nasty fall!

My eyeglasses went flying! Twisted my ankle pretty good... Plus a lovely cut on my knee. I was pretty embarrassed but some really nice people came to my aid to help me up and make sure I as okay.

After a few minutes I managed to hobble in and VOTE!!!

Icing down and elevation tonight, but very happy that I cast my ballot for BETO!!!

GOTV!
