3. I skipped the caucus this year, do I need a note?

My lame excuse: I am not supposed to be out in the cold and I had a ride to the support group but not the caucus.

The Support Group is out of town and my ride is with a rabid Dem married to a Pub from Plymouth. Politics comes up in the supper before the meeting but not last night. Could be because our absent Rabid Pub in the group has just been diagnosed with ALS and at the same time got taken in a real estate scam on a small farm. The talk was 3 phase converters, electronic gearshifts in new tractors, a technique for repairing Caterpillar carburetors and moving outrageously heavy things. They did finally get around to discussing the topic at hand. Did I mention the group was 80% men last night?
