Kara Finally Appreciates Her Country Roots

Ever since we moved to Moyock, Kara has had a hard time adjusting to the lifestyle of the South.  Despite the fact she has spent her whole life here, and grew up out in the country, she had gotten too accustomed to living in the city.  So when we moved to North Carolina, she was stunned that the driver's license office didn't take credit cards.  "Who doesn't take credit cards?" she exclaimed.  

Well, after a year and a half of living here, she finally has come to appreciate it.  It happened on Election Day.  As we were hearing reports on the radio of the long lines at polling places, we were worried that maybe even Moyock might have a wait.  Shawn called us from Chesapeake and said that he had to wait almost two hours to vote.  That's insane.

Here in Moyock, our wait was zero.  We walked in, grabbed a ballot, filled it out and went on our way.  It took longer to fill out the ballot than it did to get it.  

So we may live in a small town that's in a small county of only 17,000 people, but you really do appreciate it when you go to the polls to vote.
