Primary Day

Well myself and Big Guy went to the polls today. It was crowded at 8:30 but probably at other times. Sometimes I wonder if it matters who you vote for. The big power that runs things seems to be able to get what they want regardless.

Today was a lovely day, warm, sunny and just the right breeze. I got a lot done, including buying 200 lb of dogfood. Big Guy looked dizzy when I told him but PetCo has a deal if you buy 200 lb they give you 10% off which equal a free bag of dogfood. We will use it. I also made the best potato pancakes ever for supper. Now I'm beat.

Well tomorrow we'll hear who got Indiana and who got N.C. I almost don't know which one I want. They are so alike, saying what they think we want to hear. One is young and green and the other is experienced and tough. Both of them are politicians. I had a relative who was asked to run for a political seat once and his dad told him that he wouldn't be able to stay an honest man so he declined. I don't know if that's true but I can see how hard it would be to maintain your values with people trying to compromise them all the time. I thought about getting involved until I thought about all the meetings I would need to attend, I hate meetings that last any longer than a half hour. Just talking to people all the time would wear me out.

I like Hillary too, but I think Obama will win. Mainly because I voted for Hillary.

I see.. I hope both of them will enjoy the tense competition and accept defeat in whichever way they can. I wish I can be a US citizen and vote for Hillary too!
