On Politics
I’ll be so glad when this election is over. I hate politics. Regardless of who wins, it’ll be a relief to have it come to an end. In my opinion, no matter who wins, I believe we’ll be short changed, although I lean toward the more conservative side.
I understand that my focus should be on McCain & Obama and it is, but Sara Palin has slammed into this political arena like nothing I’ve ever seen before. She has demonstrated great strength & grace. Her values are those that I myself hold dear. If I were a betting woman, I’d bet there are more of us out there than anyone would imagine. We are not all “women’s libbers” and she has shown that you don’t have to be to achieve the goals you set your mind to.
Anyway, I like her. I like McCain. Heck, I even like some of what Obama says. It’s confusing to say the least and how many presidents have actually done what they promise to do when they’re campaigning. Change needs to happen, not just with the president, but all over.
We are living in scary times. I wonder what it will be like 50 years from now.

Hurricanes
After being skirted by hurricane Hanna I feel pretty blessed. The other recent ones ended up in the Gulf. Poor people. They’ve really had a tough time with the weather. Ike has hit Arkansas today after slamming into the Texas coast … Galveston, Houston, etc. I called LaRue in Dallas this evening to make sure they were ok. She said they just got some rain and it was a little windy. Then I called Mama. They had just been issued a tornado warning for their county and she was prepared to go into her closet if it got bad.
Rachel and I went to get gas for the gas can early Thursday evening. Joe was fixing to mow the yard. Traffic was awful and all the gas stations were crammed with vehicles trying to get gas. We didn’t know what was going on. Soon we found out that gas was supposed to go up to $5/gal by the next day and everyone was rushing to fill up their tanks. (I am assuming this was due to hurricane Ike).
Cleve was out-of-town, couldn’t find Jerriod, and Cathy was at a Business After Hours. Joanne called and asked if I could go take pictures. She didn’t have her camera. So Rachel and I played photographer. Got some good shots but it was crazy!!
Hopefully, things will settle down and get back to normal (whatever THAT is) soon.
