Democracy at work
I participated in the Nevada Caucus today. It was pretty cool. Very simple, the whole thing took an hour. The state is divided up into precincts based on population, so my entire condo complex got one. I got to meet some of my neighbors. ( Politics ) -

I went to dinner with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and friends. Then dancing, then a house party on its last legs. It was a good night.
