I have heard that in some lands people avoid wearing any kind of clothing that restricts the mass intake of doodles. I think they also dance around a ceremonial bonfire and drink ritual amounts of tequilla. I suggest waiting till it's warmer outside to dance nekkid round the fire while shooting Patron.

About the elections. The first was non eventful. The second, a circus. And yes, a nice lady in the raucus caucus crowd did ask me if I was really a Dem? Why? Who knows. Maybe I wasn't wearing a Dem pin. Maybe I wasn't cheering for Hill or Obama. Maybe I looked like I was not so glad to be there.

But I was honest with her. I said "do I have to be?" She said no. But was I a Repub just there to try and manipulate the November outcome by leveraging the Dem primary ... Obama this ... Hillary that ... p!ssed off Potato.

I then saw a man holding the cutest sweetest baby in the whole world with the most wonderful dimples. So I went over and made faces and baby talk to someone who didn't really care who won. I liked that.
