It occurs to me that not once in my history of voting has the party I voted for gone on to win. It is almost enough to make me think I shouldn’t vote.

Not because I think voting is pointless or anything. I just worry I may be some manner of jinx.

Think how much closer we would be to living on other planets if NASA had started all those countdowns at 3 instead of 10.

Wandering across the savanah, tired and thirsty, I hear a lion roar. “Oh good,” I say, “Someone is starting a movie somewhere nearby.”
