No More Worrying
Well I have done it. I voted. It was all over when I breathed a sigh of relief after dropping the lid on the U. S. Mail box in front of Aspen Mountain. These past weeks have been the most mind-boggling times that I’ve ever experienced. I was truly one of the “undecided” that the candidates have been fighting so hard for my vote. I waited until the final minute to make my vote. I have consulted many friends, family members, and all sorts of workers on the jobsite with many different opinions. Each time I would think I had my mind made up, I’d start to look at things in a different way, and spinning my brain and getting more confused and worried each time.
But now I am done worrying. It is all out of my hands now. Whoever becomes our next President will have to live up to the promises that he has made all of us.
I am leaving for Elk Camp this morning. In a few hours, I will be completely cut off from the outside world. No cell phone, no television, no radio. To appreciate this country to its fullest, one must not just be in the woods, but in a United States National Forest, one of the most free and public lands available to citizens, where we live by the law of the land. Although I am tempted to bring the Sirius radio in the truck, I’d rather not hear any information for the rest of the election. There may be riots and outrage and mayhem, but I won’t know until November 5th when I emerge from the wilderness. When I emerge on November 5, the election will be over, and I will reassimilate back to society, to start the new chapter in American History with everyone else.
Until then…good luck and try not to go too crazy if your candidate loses.
