That’s Pickaway county. It doesn’t get much redder and rural.

Edit to add:

Back in May they were all about freedom and going mask less. Still are. Bunch of people going to miss election day if they attend.

Earlier, in NC, his rally is during The UNC vs NC State football game.

His rally will be in a county with among the highest Covid spikes already.

Used to have friends down there. They had a big shindig at their house every Pumpkin Show weekend. Lived close enough that you could park at their house and walk to the show.

I do miss those days.

Stay safe. And masked.

Sorry, but most of the cool folks move away after high school. . Still, there are a lot more Biden signs than you might expect and the sheriff is a Democrat and the third- generation of his family in the position. For the record, they have all had good reputations. My dad was a deputy for the former sheriff so as a kid I knew the current one.
Sometimes good guys win.

I think they did all move up here to Columbus eventually. Some very good memories. Gio’s pizza was a favorite till it got sold.

Love it when the good guys win!

I'd seriously consider planning to shelter in place for a while. I'm not talking bread and milk, but if you can avoid being in public, I'd sre think about it.

Stay safe!

I'm in Florida, about 40 minutes from Tampa. Our HOA doesn't allow political signs or flags, so this is how the residents of the 800 homes in our community are letting their inner assholiness polute the neighborhood.

How does this make any sense, they have closed the main streets in Circleville. And access to downtown will be restricted.
Businesses are weighing staying open for no business or closing tomorrow.

A local bakery, who typically makes 30-40 percent of their annual revenue on the last Saturday of the pumpkin show and has supplies to meet that demand, cannot open tomorrow.

This makes no sense because the fairgrounds are on the other end of the town and can be access easily from the east.

Worth a shot to get as close as you can and ask one of his aids or Secret Service team to hold onto it for a few seconds while you take a picture.

Yes, I'm kidding. But that would be funny to pull it off and get in the news for him.

Trump went to PA, the positivity rate skyrocketed.

I had planned a trip there in November and now I'll have to quarantine when I get back.

Shit, shit, shit.

All I can say is: quarantine for 14 days, and hopefully it will blow over.
