City elections next week; only one ward has a contest, but we are doing it city-wide anyway. During the easy elections we poll workers practice up for the Big One next November 2016, trying out new equipment and procedures.

It makes for a long day, 6 AM until at least 9 PM. But it's nice to be appreciated.
