53. Yes, that Hurricane Douglas Missed us & all the Island

chain.. Thank Goodness! We all went through the Preps 'cause we just didn't know. Whew!

I hope you & yours are doing well as can be in this heartbreaking time.

Oh, I got to vote for Kai Kahele in person on Thursday.. quite by chance bc I had accidently tossed my Envelope that I got with my Mail in Ballot. So I went about trying to get another ballot.

Turns out we have a Kauai Voters Service Center & you can Vote in Person. The keeper of the Direct Voting Drop Box takes your Temperature & then directs you to Conference Room B. It was almost like private voting. Just one machine, Paper Ballot.. & room enough for 3 or 4 Voters.

After anyone votes the Poll Workers clap and Cheer with Hooyays! Like a Party! When they clapped for me I Clapped, too, and said "Thank you all for being here!"
