That's it for tonight

Jen went off camping with some friends so I played hooky today doing some shooting. Nice clear weather and some gorgeous fall colors. Had dinner out and then spent a little too long a time in a local Mexican place with killer margharitas. Since the hip replacement (five weeks this coming Monday), I have been weaning myself off the Percoset and today is the second day without taking anything. Feeling tired and will be calling it an early night... Went to the Bellingham Farmer's Market and there were a lot of people hustling for Obama. I noticed this in 2004 -- in 'town' it's all Democrat signs on the lawns but when you get about five miles out, it flips to all Republican signs. It might be interesting to propose re-districting for urban v/s rural areas. The people actually producing the food, lumber, recreational opportunities often have quite a different view than those who exist to consume these resources. (ed. - hey Dave, that is the voice of three margharitas talking)
