It may be the fever-pitch of the final days before the election manipulating my observations, but as far as I can tell, as I take the dog on her evening walks around the neighborhood, she only makes deposits on the lawns sporting McCain-Palin signs.  And its not always the same yard, so its not like she's remarking territory or whatever.  And there are other yard signs out - the hospital bond issue for one - but those lawns she leaves untouched.  Perhaps I am signaling her somehow with my dismayed sighs as we march by.  Or, as stated before, maybe I only notice when there is an antichrist sign, not when there's not.  If only there were a way to double-blind this.  Additionally, this behavioral trend presents an ethical dilemma for me as I am then truly torn about cleaning it up, her partisan poo.

Also, today it was so cold and blustery I had to wear a scarf!  A scarf!  Am I a wimp?  No.  You're a wimp.  Mississippi is a wimp.

Lastly, I'm taking suggestions on Halloween costumes.  Something that can be constructed for $8 or less with materials from either the Superwalmart, the Dollar Store, or the farmer's cooperative.  Is there a way I can somehow use hunter's camo and bulk flouride-free toothpaste to be "a paradigm shift"?
