One of the puppies is now attacking the jacko-lantern. Awesome.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Mom voted early and she's gotten a lot of last minute campgain stuff from the Republicans (she's one, voted for Obama). Including a plea for money from Palin. There was a reply letter and an envelope, she talked about returning it with the statement --- Not just No but Hell No!
The Republicans are going to have do some major changing to win her back for Presidential elections.

Wee little raaawr lion!
My dad gets really cranky about the DNC (he has Issues with them) asking him for money, so whenever they do, he sends back a screed explaining why he'll give money to individual candidates, but not to the party. Probably doesn't do anything but maybe give someone something different to read and give him some satisfaction.
I swear, he's going to end up the cranky old man at city council meetings...or running them. My mom is trying to get him to run for an opening on the local water board. The guy who is stepping down wants him too as well.

Oh jesus. Getting GOP fearmongering campaign ads. I guess I'm technically close enough to PA, because Md is blue and B'more is REALLY blue.

Oh man. I just rolled out 8 bagels for tomorrow morning and my arms ache. I forgot just how stiff bagel dough is.
I am thankful EVERY DAY that I live in a blue state surrounded by blue states and have Tivo. The only political ads I've seen are ones that have been linked on LJ or mocked by Jon Stewart.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy Halloween everyone! So sorry I haven't been around today. Been busy, will post pictures, um, eventually. Franny's school had a costume parade, SUPER cuteness! Isaac has been boycotting his astronaut costume today. He was Belle this morning, now he's Dorothy. I assume he's don the astronaut suit for the actual trick-or-treating.
Happy B-day Daniel and Happy Anniversary to the Reasons!

When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the reply was what they needed.
Unfortunately, the e-mail response to Swansea council said in Welsh: "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated".
So that was what went up under the English version which barred lorries from a road near a supermarket.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy Anniversary to the House of Reason!
Half the electricians at today's focus were dressed as pirates. If I'd known, I would've brought my hook!

I did the early voting thing today before work. On a paper ballot so as to avoid having my vote disappear into the ether if any improprieties occur.
Of the two main mayoral candidates, the Republican has been publicly kneeling in prayer for a win at fundraisers and press events, while the Democrat is pulling in money and staff from outside the state and running ads with exclusively WASPish pinched-face people telling me that he supports OUR values (the implication being not those of those other people with their unsightly melanin or dangerous not-being-married-with-kids-that-go-to-Sunday-school ways). So I probably wasted my vote by casting it for the other candidate with city council experience who didn't put me off with his campaigning.
