往事随风–选举投票
又到选举季节了, 刚收到所住城市的通讯选票,这让我想起与选举投票有关的往事。
上世纪80年代中叶,我在北京一部队医疗单位工作,正值改革搞得风风火火,其中之一就是基层选举,当时要搞一人一票选举所在地的海淀区人大代表。记得当时选票上有两名政治部推荐的人选,如不满意这两个人选,也可以在下面写上你中意的其他候选人。选举那天单位几百人都到设有票箱的球场排队投票,投完后,当场开票,票最高者当选。这是第一次参加所谓的民主选举,当时大家有点小激动,因此印象深刻。可惜的是几十年过去了,中国的选举并无长进。
人籍美国后,头些年工作忙,对选举投票无暇顾及。2008年奥巴马和喜来利为选民主党的总统候选人,打的不可开交,在加州初选空前激烈,这促使了我参加投票的意愿。我是无党人士,但可以在民主党的初选投票。投票那天虽然很忙,但仍想着要在晚八点前去投票,下班后就急匆匆的开车去投票所。半途中碰到一个红绿灯,前面车不知何因急刹车,我差点撞上它,我后面的一辆老爷车没有刹住,撞上了我的车尾,天黑只看见保险杆凹进去一小块,找对方交换资料,对方下车说了句没什么, 开车就跑了,我当时只记下了车牌号,想着还是赶快去投票吧。路上不放心,就找了个亮点的地方停下来,这才发现被撞的保险杠完全裂开,投票还是算了吧,报案要紧。于是掉头开到了警察局,在警察局等候,笔录及查车,一折腾就过了八点,票是投不成了。后来警察说那个车牌号是假的,去修车花了$2700,找不到对方,保险付了$1700,自已损失了$1000。
那件事后,倒激发了我投票的热情, 我一劳永逸登记了通讯投票,这样不用再火急火燎的了。 多年来,我每次收到选票,都会花些时间来看选票议案和候选人介绍,尽可能选出自己中意的候选人和提案,虽然自己的力量微不足道,但是社会就是由我们这种小选民组成,就象大河是由小溪汇集而成。美国是我们工作和生活的地方,我们的后代生于斯长于斯,“This land is my land”, 但愿用我们的选票让美国的明天更好!
恰同学少年–北京实习点滴回忆:
Perfect fit size 13. I normally order 13's. Very comfortable.
- Switzerland
Been getting these forever, love the fit, 13 4E. Perfect, comfortable.
- Switzerland
Favorite walking shoe. I have flat feet and these are great for comfort and support
- Guam
Nike runs about a 1/2 size small. I wear a 10.5 normally and wear an 11 in Nike. Good shoes.
- Liberia
I have inserts from the VA for my shoes that give me good arch support so I just take out the ones provided.
- Liberia
I'm a truck driver climbing up and down and inside trailers shoes perform well no falling apart yet so I'd buy them again
- Switzerland
I have had a hard time finding these shoes in stores in regular width, so I was really glad I could purchase these at a very reasonable price.
- Switzerland
Tired of going to the store to NOT find the correct size of shoe in the type I wanted. This shoe was exactly what I was looking for - and I got it in 2 days!!
- Singapore
Husband has a wide foot with a high instep. This is the only shoe that fits him comfortably. Have purchased this shoe multiple times. Good price and well made. Will definitely purchase again.
- Singapore
This is my third pair of these shoes. I have wide feet so I have a hard time finding good shoes that fit well. These work great and each pair lasts me at least twice as long as previous shoes I have tried. They are very comfortable.

This Bluetooth headset is great, small and easy to carry, and the sound quality is very good. The key is that the quality is very good, and it is worth buying.
2024-01-12 08:57:21--
Exquisite workmanship, good touch, sensitive buttons and rollers, which are worth the price as a whole. I am not afraid of scratching the screen when I wear them.
2024-01-12 08:56:49--
The workmanship is exquisite and the texture is very good. The sound quality is still very good, very satisfactory, comfortable to wear on the ears, and long battery life.
2024-01-12 08:56:12--
I used the earphone protective cover as soon as I got it. The logistics is very fast, and the shell surface is clean and flawless. It is better to use the lanyard and feel comfortable.
2024-01-12 08:54:17--
Headphones feel a lot more comfortable than previous generations of headphones, sound quality is very good, surround sound can really do, stereo effect is very strong, this is the conscience of the product, Bluetooth connection is super fast, very stable features, you can also change the name and positioning, functional performance is very good worth starting
2024-01-12 08:52:14--

2024-01-12 08:49:47--

Horrible service. Don't order if you don't want to loose your money. The seller sends you nice pictures of the product, but in fact sends you an absolute rubbish. In my case also customer service was useless and I lost my money. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!!
2024-01-04 18:42:37--
Not happy at all with the shoes, they arrived dirty as if someone had worn them - the seller is also very rude and unhelpful
2024-01-04 18:40:40--
outstanding.
2024-01-04 18:39:12--
I really like this thing
2024-01-04 18:38:06--

These shoes look identical to the real ones. I ordered three pairs from this seller so far.
2024-01-04 18:33:21--
Great fit fits small if you like them loose size up comes with box label and stock x cardboard emblem
2024-01-04 18:32:50--
The sneakers were true to fit. I ordered Four of them and they came in two separate packages on separate dates somewhat far apart. They look great except they were a little squished. There was not much protection for the sneaker besides a thin layer of bubble wrap and a small styrofoam insert. No box. Overall, I recommend. Second time I ordered from this seller.
2024-01-04 18:32:42--
Fast shipping the only problem is the serial numbers are on the outside of the arm but the supposed to be on the inside of the arm🙄
2024-01-04 09:23:05--
Great glasses and case , would buy again
2024-01-04 09:20:50--
Omg!! I these heels!!! I am sooooo ordering more from this amazing seller!! Great quality for a replica!! They were so kind and answered all my questions . You will these shoes!!
2024-01-04 09:20:48--
I like it very much! Glasses are quite comfortable to wear, the ultra-light ones don't jam the bridge of the nose, and the lenses are quite clear. In short, they are quite satisfactory!
2024-01-04 09:20:23--
Came so quick! They are great quality, just like the picture
2024-01-04 09:20:14--
I love these sunglasses just like the original. The case is nice as well. The sun glasses are dark with the brand logo on the side. Good quality and tight arm hinges not light either. Will look at other sunglasses. Ship Tim was faster than usual to the States.
2024-01-04 09:19:58--

2024-01-04 09:03:00--
They’re bulkier than I thought they would be. But overall nicely made shoe. Left one has glue on the suede on the toe part but I’m sure I can get that off. Shipping time was 3 weeks.
2024-01-04 09:01:51--
