Vote early

Holden is, um, holdin' its town elections today, with races for selectman and school committee. This was, at least to my distracted attention, a quiet election season. Usually, there are a few neighbors who whose political sentiments are pretty much opposite of mine. If I'm in doubt about a candidate or issue, I just vote the opposite of what their lawn signs says.
This year, we didn't get that much help, so we had to make our own choices. Ken Lipka made it a bit easier. He (or his campaign crew) put notes in our mailboxes, urging us to vote, along with two pens that said Kenneth Lipak for Holden Selectman. That's illegal, putting putting into people's mailboxes without postage, and making my decision a bit easier.
