Last Friday at Vail Health Hospital reminded me of election days long gone, back before we had statewide mail-in ballot elections. It was kind of like the old Vail Ski Swap, where only locals would show up for Friday night to actually “swap” equipment before all the tourists came the next day or waiting in line for an early or late season Tuesday night concert at the Ford Amphitheater. While waiting in those lines, we’d see people that we hadn’t seen in years, waving up and down the line, shouting, “Hey …you!” when we couldn’t remember their name, but still happy to see them.
