[Oe List ...] {Spam?} Observe the vote

[Isobel & Jim Bishop]

Thanks for sharing this on the listserve, Jann.
Here in Australia many of us are watching your coming Elections keenly.
Coincidentally, your voting always occurs on our National Horse Race Day - 
that too, is usually a very close finish......
Hope is stronger than memory...
Grace and Peace,
Isobel Bishop.
