Talk to my family about how she should vote, over the phone..

May I say how crazy this all is for us living here in the Scotland right now? You might not get that, because all you get is elections that change nothing. This is something that will change the world.

For the first time the polls are saying that yes is ahead. That's a game changer; in some way. It might not mean that yes is going to win or a no is more likely. What it does mean is that we have a vote where things might get serious.  

So I listened to my wife talk to my mum and dad. Then a huge madness occurs, I talk to my dad and he says something that just blows me away.

He said, "I've given Martin my vote".

"What Martin?  Claude's kid?

"Yes. I'm over eighty, isn't it more important that a fourteen year old votes instead of an old fart like me. 

I suspect that Martin will vote as my dad would but II love my Dad for hs marvellous madness.
