Went to Vote

Today was primary day in Illinois. Shortly after the polls opened, the immediate area experienced 3 electrical power surges. I called the electric company, unaware that speaking to a living being in real time would be more unhelpful than speaking to the bill. It turned out that the living being was a squirrel in a transformer, just as he told me he was, and he was trained in the art of block and tackle. I cried uncle, hung up, and went to vote.
