All is quiet here except for the blaring music that continues to travel around on the vehicles for the politicians. Mary and the Kluegs went to Nairobi on the train last night and had a good trip arriving safely this morning. The country seems pretty divided and this is what I am hearing:
1. The elections will take time since there are 6 ballots to fill out and many people aren't well versed in how to do it. Some one just told me that the Constitution says that the only person who can extend the elections is the chairman of the Independent Board of the Electoral Commission and voting can't extend for more than one day
2. People are saying that they want this over with in one vote because it is disrupting schools, business and life in general. So people are advising others to vote for one of the two top candidates and hope that one of them wins outright.
3. Most people think there will be peace for the most part and that where there is trouble will be in small pockets, maybe not having anything to do with the elections. There are always those that want to take advantage of the situation.
A friend just sent me a message saying that this is Women's World Day of Prayer and his calender says, "When sleeping women awake mountains will move". With men like that I think we could really make the world a better place!
