Coffee, Doughnuts,Ice Cream And An Election All On The Same Day

Well, November 4th, election day is finally over, but let me tell you how excited I was that it finally got here.

Like many, I decided to vote early because I, for one, listened to all the ads.

Based on the turn out today, it appears many of you didn't fully understand what the ad said or you just plain didn't care.

That is your loss because I enjoyed it since I had a plan.

Here is what I did. After I voted, I hung out at the voting place for 8 hours and rather than gathering discarded sample ballots, I instead gathered discarded "I Voted" stickers.

Today, while others were standing in lines at the voting polls, I took my stickers and headed out on the road.

My first 12 stops were at different Krispy Kreme doughnut shops for the free doughnut they were giving out when you showed your 'I Voted' sticker.


Next, I grabbed my little ice chest with freezer ice and headed off to Ben & Jerry's for my free ice cream.

I also took disguises because we don't have that many Ben & Jerry's so to get a half gallon free I had to change my appearance a lot.


My final stops were Starbucks where I picked up a dozen iced coffees. I got iced coffee because I figured I could have one a day and only will have to add ice.


Too bad for all those of you that were standing in line to vote today and missed out on those goodies.

The thing I just found out is the stores learned from the attorneys they had to offer the same to those who didn't vote as to those that did so I gathered up all those "I Voted" stickers for nothing.

Let me tell you, some of those garbage cans I had to climb in to get those stickers were sure disgusting.

Oh well, at least I'm set for snacks for a couple of weeks.
