Hello Oakville! Look, I know it looks really, really dark outside, but it is only 4:40, and you have over two hours to vote.
Get out there and exercise your right that people have fought for on your behalf. Don’t take it for granted!

Time to Vote!
Hello friends! It’s a great day to be alive because it’s Election Day! If you live in Missouri, Missouri’s Voter Outreach Center gives you information about the ballot in your area.
If you happen to live in Oakville, one of our neighbors has been kind enough to fill their yard full of signs for the candidates to NOT vote for. I like to refer to this place as Hate Bend. It’s on Telegraph Road, and you can’t miss it. This family has sacrificed their otherwise beautiful yard to keep us all informed, and we thank them for their service to the greater good.
Where the Minority Rules
Let’s face it. Americans don’t vote.
Why don’t they vote? I really have no idea. It defies logic. Why in the world would you put yourself in a position to let someone else speak for you in deciding our common journey?
I sit here in Missouri where we are on the verge of having two arguably psychotic US senators, and I cannot figure out why. Why would we let this happen? The St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia metro areas easily outnumber the rest of the state. There really is no excuse. We have the power to prevent this.
All registered voters must use any means necessary to get out to vote. Take advantage of your employer’s policies to take time off to vote, vote by mail, vote early on a non-working day, call a family member or friend for a ride – just make your voice heard.
It’s important.
I’ve always been fascinated by Jony Ive. No matter what you create, there is a lesson to be learned from his approach to design.
There is a great article in the latest issue of WSJ. Magazine about Mr. Ive that is absolutely worth the read or 18 minute listen.
