I wrote an entry yesterday.
But then DD had a hiccup when I was trying to post it, so it got lost.
This is really not much of a tragedy because the entry was drivel anyway.
Drizzly today. I hope it clears up some later in the day. I wanted to go out and clean up the front yard. There are debris of various kinds that the wind blew upon our shores last week. Including broken willow branches from our tree, paper cups, food containers, and whatnots from other people's garbage as the day that it was blowing a gale happened to be garbage day, and well, just use your imagination.
The birds wasted no time finding the bird feeder on the front porch. But I am beginning to question my decision as the place is now strewn with hulls and bird doo doo. The thing may have to go back to its original spot for sanitary reasons.
This morning I was listening to the radio and yet another pair of pundits were re-re-re-re-re-RE-hashing the election 'situation' of the moment... and this wave of gloom swept over me. I realized that this is going to go on for another ten months.
TEN MONTHS.
More than 300 days of endless speculations, shocking revelations, setbacks, comebacks, uncertain outcomes, dramas, rebounds, regrouping, new strategies, old saws, soundbites, dirty tricks, bad form, sneaky tactics , backroom deals, lies, liars, and damn liars. . . .
OMG. I don't think I can take it. I'm sick to death of it and we haven't even picked the two.... [oh I forgot, there will be more], candidates yet! We have not yet gotten into the vice president slots yet have we?
Who's idea was it for people to start 'running' for president two full years before the freakin' election? I want him in my office, and I want to see some heads roll. Don't these people understand that we are going to be SO sick of them before this is over that we might write in 'Mr. Bean' for president rather than play this stupid game any longer?
Oh, don't get your panties in a wad. I'm going to vote. I'm a good citizen. And yes I care about who is going to be leading our country, and yes it matters. But I don't believe it matters in the way some people in politics think that it matters.
And one last thing [for today anyway]... there are certain aspects of this particular election that have a tinge of 'American Idol' wafting around them. Too much emphasis is being placed on emotions, stupid little quirky sound bites that are given way too much gravitas, and personal appearance. We are not voting for homecoming king or queen here people. This isn't high school any more.
(Wait a minute, I thought you just said this political stuff didn't matter that much.)
Don't take me out of context you snarky little set of, of,... "standardized marks or signs in written matter to clarify the meaning and separate structural units"
And you can quote me on that.
(I have a feeling it's going to be a long campaign.)
