When I was a kid, me and my dad built a Go Cart out of stuff we found laying around in the machine shed, the barn, and the scrap pile. The thing took only a couple of days to put together and I spent the next several years having fun with it.
It was a good decision to build it. And it was one of those great unpredictable days when you get up in the morning, not expecting much, and suddenly you’re building a Go Cart. Just that quick, life is good.
Each day we have decisions to make. And I suppose on Election Day we might tend to think that we have a really big decision to make…one that will have a huge bearing on our lives. I judge it’s true and we shouldn’t shrug it off or take it too lightly.
On the other hand, I suppose we could all use a bit of lightheartedness on Election Day. The whole campaign seemed to be a bit more grueling than necessary, and I’m glad it’s finally coming to an end. Most old Power Wagon guys don’t go in for such an overdone ruckus.
I guess one positive way of looking at it would be that we can each do our own part in putting the whole big mess of a campaign to rest. By making an educated decision and casting our vote, we’ve each done all we can do. Whether someone is a blue voter or a red voter is none of my business, and I really don’t care. I’d just like to know that the majority of people are voting. There’s no other way to find out what the majority wants.
You might think that if your fellow countrymen wanted you to vote they should have given you a good candidate. I don’t disagree at all. These days, we often find ourselves voting for the person we think is the lesser of two evils, which is somewhat of a shame. It’s somewhat of a shame that there’s nobody running for office that might know the joy of building a Go Cart with his dad. I would venture a guess that none of our politicians have ever scrounged around in the barn or in the scrap iron pile looking for things that might work for a make-do steering system. It’s just a guess.
But, be it what it may, we still need to weigh our options the best we can and make a decision. I encourage all to get out and vote. At the same time, I encourage all to remember that some of the smaller decisions we make today might impact our lives in a great way too. Build something with your kids or grandkids and you might just find it to be the best decision you’ve made in years.
