I'll be there for Thanksgiving week with the extended family, and I'm hoping I can be all smug with Obama as the next President. I dread what my week will be like if the other guy wins. <BR/><BR/>On a different topic, the really good used book store there was closing when I was there last December, and I have no idea if a new one has replaced it.

The only time a voice has been raised to me was by a couple folks who cursed while using the B(u*h) word in a less than complimentary fashion. <BR/><BR/>Based on this, I figure I'll either be having a great night tomorrow watching the returns or be busily planning my part in the general uprising which will follow a patently fraudulent McCain election. It's good to know these things in advance.<BR/><BR/>captcha: repeteet, an oddly comforting bit of jive...handdrummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287658517906891463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-81540242256776086452008-11-03T09:40:00.000-05:002008-11-03T09:40:00.000-05:00Good for you and Officer Cool.I unleashed my drawl...Good for you and Officer Cool.<BR/><BR/>I unleashed my drawl and made calls to your fair Commonwealth yesterday. Out of forty calls, I only spoke to one McCain supporter. He revealed this after I'd introduced myself and he replied with a stunned, "You're calling from <I>Texas</I>?" I think it unnerved the guy--Texas is "supposed" to be a solid red state. <BR/><BR/>Keep on keepin' on.
