Cheers to BIPM, my partner in life.

Cheers to participating in my first Maine Caucus Sunday! Well worth standing in line to participate. After getting inside, because of such a high turn out, they let us sign our caucus identification form with our candidate of choice, and hand it in to a volunteer. People were still outside waiting in line braving the high winds and snow when we left at about 4:40 pm.

Jeers to me for not being dressed for the weather. The one day I decide not to wear my ski cap. Standing in the cold wet snow was not fun!

Some pictures of our day:

People lined up around the corner from Portland High School. We started right about where the picture ends near the white car. We arrived about 1:55 PM.

Around the corner we go...

Finally...the school entrance is in sight! :-)

Bill braving the weather like a true Mainer...

    What're you doing here.
    
    Are you not supposed to be doing some important sabbatical work?
    
    (I, on the other hand, am procrastinating.)

      wrapped my head around what "Caucuses" are, and since my MySpace profile is permanently set on "argumentative" I'm trying to decide if it's a good enough reason to move, lol.
