“rained so hard the day I left, the weather, it wuz dry, sun so hot, I froze to death.....”
“In the blueridge mountains of Virginia.........” Oops! That haze ain’t Virginia......It’s northern California where we currently have almost a thousand fires going.....it’s been the dryest Spring on record and the gods are giving us a hint of ....hmmm, well I ain’t sure but it certainly is hot ‘n smoky....with air you c'n get your teeth into.... By the numbers.....breathe in....chew.....breathe out.......
We are surely having some strange weather.....drought in the West.....record floods in the mid-West.... hurricanes and tornadoes in this hemisphere.... typhoons and cyclones in the southern....earthquakes all over the durn globe....
Speaking of the weather and things political....(c’mon, ever’thing is political this year.)...I believe it may be starting to rain on Baramas parade....it’s just a sprinkle now ‘n I ain’t sure he’s even noticed it yet..... or if he has, it’s kinda like raindrops on a ducks back.....
McCain, on t’other hand, has been sloggin’ thru the rain forever, or so it seems.....he’s got his poncho snugged tight, his boots are muddy, ‘n the rain just keeps comin.....but he’s got his head down ‘n he just keeps on truckin’.....
There’s an awful lot of ‘true’ conservatives that don’t like John McCain....he’s just too durn liberal for them, why heck, he’s almost a (gasp) Democrat....or so they say, but it’s my belief that when they’re faced with a choice of McCain or a truly liberal Barama, they’ll suck it up and vote for McCain....’n I also think that when it comes down to the wire, an awful lot of Democrats, the old reg’lar middle of the road Democrats, not the liberal elite, are gonna vote for McCain also.....
‘Course, I’ve been wrong before.....Sumtimes, it seems like I’ve made a life-long career out’a being wrong..... Heck! I voted for JFK.....’n that led to escalation in Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs ‘n the confrontation with Nicky Khruschev in Cuba.....and I still supported him and wuz devastated when he wuz shot down in Dallas.....I liked Kennedy but he wuz too young 'n inexperienced...'n this ain't the sixties, Iraq 'n Afghanistan are shootin' wars.......
In the ‘70’s when Millyrose told me that a peanut farmer from Georgia wuz gonna be our next prez, I sed, “No way, Jose.” But I voted for him. I tho’t he wuz a bright fella ‘n would make a good President....even after he wuz a spectacular failure as Prez, I tho’t he wuz still one of our smartest Presidents ever....just goes to show that smart ain’t always the best yardstick....common sense seems to beat out smart ever’ time.....
