Ah, Ballston

I'm not sure why but Ballston Metro stop always seems to be filled with people handing out fliers, especially around election day. I know Grovsner is a little out of the way - though we've had some people stumping over there - but getting from and to the Ballston stop to work feels like a gauntlet. I had seven, seven, people in one block ask me if I'm voting.
...did you not hear my response to the last six, Mr. Number Seven With Your Fancy Obama Hat Man?
There's a reason I go the longish way to the metro in the afternoons and that's to avoid the Greenpeace/random environmental group name here that's handing out fliers and wants me to give them money. I understand philanthropy and fundraising (duh) but trying to grab me on the way to/leaving work is never a good time.
Oh magic headphone, you save me every time. "I can't hear you, I'm listening to Abba!" (Well. I was.)
