This would be my family outside the gate while Obama, our likely next Pres, was boarding his campaign plane this
summer. A great moment for us driving back from a day
trip to catch the candidate, his entourage and all the media
blasting out of Eastern Oregon, heading to Montana.
TTL - Thank the Lord. It was excruitating last night just sitting there during the debates. I have to give McCain credit for a 71 year old: stamina. I was wore out. And then wore out again listening to the post-debates talking heads doing their Ronco debate slice and dice. I think the candidates should have worn Hawaiian shirts and been served unlimited drinks of their choice all through the 90 minute debate. Now that would have been something to write and talk about!
Note to my Mom the Republican: It was said last night that 95 percent of Americans would get a tax decrease, not five percent of Americans are the only ones who will be taxed.
I think everyone is exhausted. Obama looked it. I felt it. They must have given the tiger some juice. All I know is "My Friends" was replaced by Joe the Plumber. Hope you slept well Joe.
And let's hope now we can all move on to the most pressing issues in our own lives. What do we have we are losing (or not) when Wall Street opens each morning. The trickle down is going to be stupendous.
I am grateful to have a good job that does not involve banking, real estate, selling or making cars. What industry failure is next? Meanwhile, as I fully expected, gas prices are at their all time low right before the election. What economic landslide? Smoke and mirrors.
Work is full of making changes and planning activities. I love it. Tonight is once a quarter movie night with my former friends at the little newspaper I used to work at. I miss them everyday. These ladies are real, kind, fun loving...it will be good to get a fix how everyone is doing.
Tomorrow,
its finalize everything for our
upcoming Veterans Day parade.

Wasn't it something? I caught the debates on NPR after working late and then finished them up while working out at the gym, but I don’t think I was so much tired as fired up. McCain did do better. Maybe. It’s hard to tell. I barely caught the tale end of the Joe the Plumber portion. I need to go back and listen to that in the near future. But, yes, it’s important to get on with the issues important to our own lives. And it’ll feel good to FINALLY be able to turn on the television or NPR and hear about the election.
By the way...I want to invite myself to the next movie night. I miss everyone from Prosser SO MUCH (and you, of course!) I wanted to go to Mama Mia! last time, but I think I was covering a meeting that night.
