Good Short Read

Cellar buddy hot pastrami(Alan Bellows) has a website, Damn Interesting, which just celebrated it's tenth anniversary.
I've read most of the posted stories, which are usually historical.
The latest, posted by a new writer on the site Jennifer Colton-Jones, caught my eye because I'm very familiar with the town, but that wasn't necessary to be very entertaining.

The Petticoat Rebellion of 1916
On a December morning in 1916, the polls opened in the small town of Umatilla, Oregon, for a municipal election. As the day stretched on, the town’s men drifted in and out, casting a ballot here or there. By midday, the men started to wonder what had happened to the women. For months, the women had talked of their newly gained right to vote—women in Oregon won the right to vote in 1912, eight years before the 19th Amendment—but election morning came and went without a peep from Umatilla’s fairer residents.

Admittedly it's a feel good read, so if you need a smile, have at it.
