I voted this morning, and it paid for my breakfast. After leaving the polling place, I cruised by the Krispy Kreme for a free doughnut, then off to Starbuck's for a free coffee. This evening, I'll be heading by the Ben & Jerry's for a free scoop of ice cream. Those are all national promotions, so take advantage of them if you voted.

I'm still not sure if the local Chic-Fil-A is giving away free sandwiches today, or if the local Shane's Rib Shack is giving away dinners today. My web searching indicated that both those stores had election promotions, but they were local, so you'll have to check.
