YNOT – Elections are coming up, and we all need to register to vote — now, not next week — and then we all need to vote no matter what. No, you can’t put off your voter registration. And, yes, you must vote on or before Nov. 6. If you think bookings, work, family or anything else might keep you from getting to the polls, apply for an absentee ballot now so you can mail it before election day. Do not put anything off. Our America needs all eligible citizens to vote. Make your voice heard, without fail.

I’m not going to pitch any particular candidates or issues, but I urge, beg and pray that you use your computer or that smart phone of yours, along with your eyes, ears and sense of patriotism, to become informed. Watch TV, read internet news and postings, chat with others, seek opinions from trusted sources and ask questions. Don’t leave voting to everyone else. You have the freedom and the obligation to vote, and you must vote from a basis of knowledge, belief and values. We’re big girls and boys now, and we owe it to America to learn about the issues and the candidates. Become an informed voter.

And now: Sex!

Porn bookings are way down, and I miss being able to count on getting paid for having sex. Swinging helps, though the number of swinger parties and attendance at those parties seem to be ebbing a bit, too. Maybe some swinger folks are lying a little low and trying to conserve their money for basic needs in these days of economic challenges. Thankfully, a lot of swinger couples still want to hook-up for sex, and those female swingers like having my penis there so they can enjoy multiple-orifice sex. Whew!

I continue to meet a lot of welcome-home flights from Afghanistan at a nearby military airfield. The disembarking military personnel, smiling, always seem to be chomping at the bit to turn in their weapons and run into the arms of their families. What a wonderful site to behold. Last week, one Boeing 747 returning hundreds of smiling military members would have made a good place to film a toothpaste commercial.

One thing hasn’t changed about soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the years since I retired: Sex is at the top of their agendas during a furlough. As they got off the plane, many of the single guys joked about heading to “a real bar” and getting lucky with a California girl or two.

Remember: Register to vote, become and stay informed, and then actually vote on or before Nov. 6. Just do it.
