Showing Our Colors

Under normal circumstances, I’m not a political animal. If there’s a gene for passionate political engagement, I don’t have it. I vote, I pay my taxes, I serve on a jury if I’m called, and I try to behave myself in public so as not to disturb the peace.

But these, as has been amply demonstrated, are not normal times, which is why our front yard currently looks like this:

There’s not much else to say, really. I’ve known since 2016 that I would be voting for whoever the Democratic party chose to run in 2020, up to and including a well-behaved golden retriever.

So, yeah. Go vote.

And just now the Errol Fire Department got called out for a tree on the line over in Upton.
