    Craig and I did early voting at MOLINO COMMUNITY CENTER yesterday…there were no lines, capable workers, and afterwards spent time looking at their WALL OF HONOR portraits of the local men and women that have faithfully
    served our country around the world.
    We are so proud to live in a country that allows freedom of expression an the ability to select our leaders,national,stare and locally.
