The first ballot I cast in a presidential election was in 1972 — Nixon versus McGovern. I also served as an election judge, which is what they were called in Illinois.

Protecting natural surfaces such as wood, stone, terra cotta, etc. will enhance their inherent beauty as well as extend their lifespan.

Additionally, photo-degradation, the deterioration of surfaces due to ultraviolet radiation exposure, is a real issue here.
