There was “people-watching” at its best recently when Texans gathered at polling places to exercise their voting preferences in primary elections. Yep, it was a foretaste of the “Big One” in November. They showed up in attire ranging from the serious sloppy to “after five,” with a few of the latter adorned as if headed to an opera box. (Not to be confused with the Grand Ole Opry.) So far as I know, there were no malfunctions - wardrobe or voting machinery - where we voted. Yet, it was a most unusual day. For starters, several folks in line were wearing face masks.
