Political pests

Last night the phone was ringing off the hook.  Thank goodness for caller id.  Every single one of the calls was one of those automated political solicitations.  I have no idea what the hell these candidates are thinking.  How does annoying voters with recorded messages on their home phone at night do anything positive for their campaign? Personally when I saw the voice mails show up and listened to them any candidates name I heard immediately went down a few pegs in my book.

It’s lemming mentality.  One candidate is stupid enough to send out these robo-calls and then the others think they are somehow losing ground if they don’t do the same. Monkey see, monkey does.

News flash, if you DON’T call me at home I will think better of your campaign.

We have a bunch of standing water again after a few sessions of intense rain.  Every time these miniature lakes appear I get motivated to bring in some more fill to raise those low spots.  Then in a few days the water goes away and I lose the motivation.  It’s a better winter project anyway.

I received my replacement track pants from Zappos, trading in the way too big XL’s for mediums.  I was relieved to see that the mediums fit fine, I was worried they would be too short in length.  I will be wearing these hard.  I got a pair of Adidas and a pair of Nike pants. I will offer a comparison after a few uses.

I pick up Ali after work today from her nearly week long trip to PA.  It sounded like she was looking forward getting back on her home turf.  I know two black furry beats that will be ecstatic to see her.
