After voting and after the whiskey shots, we hung around and cheered each person as they voted. It was fun! And people seemed to like it...except for that one guy who only liked it deep in his heart.
My favorite was the kid in a stroller who "voted" (on behalf of parents). I think the kid didn't expect a crowd (6 feet apart) of adoring fans.

We are all immersed in cars; we rebuilt our cities and lives around them. But remember, in the sweep of human history, cars are a recent experiment and many of our early suppositions are proving false.
Suppostion: "Cars get us there faster." Yes, that was true for a while but the data keeps rolling in and wow, in cities, it seems they actually slow everyone down.
Supposition: “Cars are a universal solution that work for everyone.” They seemed to work for the early adopters and some later ones as well but we are becoming increasingly aware of the vast inequities cars create.
