So following the voting results this evening resulted in some interesting conversation and other searches. Thanks Google :-)

One of the coolest sites I've found yet with historical voting data is here www.270towin.com. This site is quite fun to dig through for historical data on a state by state basis.

There is a lot of insight in looking back on history...

Today on our walk home from church we stopped by the IUP field house where the sports teams were having a heart healthy kid day where the players would help / instruct the kids on their particular sport.

We went out side and had to cross the track to get to the field. Matthew when walking on the track said "what is this?". Melissa replied its a track for running. Sort of like a train track, the runners stay in between their lines when running. Matthew asked if he went all the way around would he end up right back here where he started. Melissa said yes.

That was enough info Matthew took off running! The IUP track people were right there and started to comment.. "Look he's still going." "He's going to run the whole way around." "He's not stopping." "He's got the distance." ....

Matthew ran the 400 (all but about 10 yards). Some members of the track team ran over to him at about 3/4 of the way through, and ran with him cheering him along.

Very impressive! All this to see if he would end up where he started, which he did.

We will be camping at various spots on our way down to Hilton Head, SC ... wish us luck/fun :-)
