Election Day is November 7th.

With Election Day coming Tuesday I wanted to give you all something to think about before you go to the polling places.

1. Famous Amos was a record exec. that helped sign Marvin Gaye and Simon and Garfunkel before he became the famous cookie man.

2. One of my sons has a shirt that reads "Varsity Chess Team, Check Yo' self." We can only dream.

3. There is an urban legend about a lady that administers driving tests here in Lexington. This woman is rumored to be the meanest organism ever to live. It seems this lady could be serving our military on covert missions, earning a living as a mercenary in Boliva, or scaring sixteen year olds in Lexington. Evidently she chose the latter.

4. The Fudruckers on Hilton Head Island closes at 9:30 pm sharp. Don't even ask for an exception.

5. The Chevrolet Aveo is made by Daewoo and sold in S. Korea as the Daewoo Kalos.

6. We did not get a single mini-roll of lifesavers in this years Halloween booty. We got some packs of two livesavers packaged individually, but no mini-rolls. If that fact doesn't get out the vote I don't know what will.

7. If you bite wint-o-green livesavers in a dark room it will make a spark inside your mouth. Technically, if you bite wint-o-green livesavers in a lighted room it will also make a spark but you will be less likely to believe me.

8. There is a town in South Carolina called Rutherfordton. Rutherfordton.

9. There is a trend in competitive cheerleading toward group tumbling as opposed to individual stunts.

10. The yellow Power Ranger is a bad, bad dude.

I hope this will help you as you venture out to vote on November 7. Remember, an informed voter is an effective voter.
