Ran almost 6 miles to the polling place, had an awkward conversation with one of the volunteers there, and then ran a little more than 1 back home.

more details about the awkward conversation please!

While I was voting, he kept asking which Neitzel I belonged to, and asked me when I got out, even though a couple people I knew who were volunteering already told him. My father-in-law Bob passed away 11 years ago, and he was just confused on details. Like he told me, "Bob wasn't much older than you when he died." Bob was 68.

Then he thought Bob died at the same time as Chuck's uncle Jack, even though Jack died in 1984.

But the awkward part was when he told me "I told Jack that if he kept living the way he was living, he would die. And he did."

I didn't know what to say to that.

Not a good story, I know :)
