2005 YU55

I found out two things about this second Tuesday in November. 
  1. Lancaster County will not hold an election today. You can show up to the polls but there's nobody there. No "I VOTED TODAY" stickers just hanging around either.
  2. A large asteroid (2005 YU55) will perform a close fly-by of the planet earth tonight. The asteroid isn't on a collision course, at it's closest point the object is still 202,000 miles away. But that closest point occurs tonight at approximately 5:30pm Central Standard Time.
No election. Big asteroid. Isn't that just just begging to become the plot of my next great sci-fi novel?
