Oct 2018

I’m vacationing in Indiana, way out in the country. The one and only sign I’ve seen is for Donnelly. The only talk I hear about Trump is sarcastic and negative. Townsters seem to be onto his BS and pretty much make fun of him. The farmers are not happy with him at all. I keep quiet but my ears are open and once in a while I catch conversations, and so far I’ve been encouraged.

My daughter went to early vote yesterday and she was the only one there. I don’t know if that bodes well or not.

I’m very excited about how my home state of Florida is so far shaping up. Nelson and Gillum are in the lead. And in the Keys one of the republican incumbents has been very disappointing and is rumored to be replaced in November.

Of course all this speculation isn’t even worth the price of one vote, so make certain yours is heard, loudly and clearly.
