61. I spent one election season volunteering for PFAW

Thu Jul 23, 2015, 11:27 AM

Jul 2015

I drove people to the polls, and spent the day observing the precincts ensuring people got to vote and notifying PFAW's attorneys when problems arose. I also ran coffee and treats to the poll workers. I got more enjoyment from that one day, then I've have ever gotten from posting here. And I'm sure I made a difference in many's lives that day. Here, I don't think I've ever made a difference.

We love you here Bravenak, your detractors here don't matter one iota. Go make your difference in the real world where it really matters.

I have to go now, I'm making a difference today by making blueberry pies. I'm taking one to some elderly people I know. Plus we're out of strawberry jam again so I'll make a quick batch of that for my son and his girlfriend. You have a great day no matter what you decide to do. I look forward to reading your posts in the near future.

Take care
