It’s YOUR job!

Tomorrow is election day.   For Virginia and New Jersey, as well as the City of New York, these are big days.  We (in Virginia) are going to elect new governors, as well as legislators that will make laws we will have to live with  for years, if not decades. And, that’s the point.  Too many of you (I have only missed one election- a primary that was held in March- since the first time I have been allowed to vote) only vote in Presidential elections.  Which means that you let other folks pick your Congresspersons and state officers- that pass rules with which you vehemently disagree.  Or let them move district boundaries to insure that their favorites get elected time and time again, or to insure the opposite party has no chance of gaining a seat.

Today is another holiday.  This one is really a festival.  One we get to celebrate without being in synagogue all day.  But by the end of next week, I’ll have taken off a total of  6 whole days (Yom Kipur was on a Saturday) and three half days for the Jewish Holidays in September- plus the secular Labor Day.  Recognizing that there also were 9 weekend days, you can see that means only 12 working days this whole month .
