万花筒 2010-11-12&11-13 坐救护车去投票

I asked the gentleman operating the ambulance if they would favor me by visiting the polling¹ place one block from my residence at the firehouse.
I have a lot of respect for the elderly soul,you know, I don't mind, especially when he said he was a World War II vet².
As far as I know,I never missed an election. If you don't vote, then keep your mouth shut until the next election. You have no right to complain about anything with respect to government. All of  people in line backed up, let me through,and /// so who was sticking out under the curtain. Thank God, I've got a little bit of a quarterback in my personality, give me the ball, and say that's the goal line, get it over there.
