A Snapshot from Mississippi today.

[Jane Austin]

No, Really! A snapshot!

Of the home William Faulkner built, where his niece still lives, in Oxford, MS.

3. Is the sign always there?

Or did someone just put it up to take the photo? Does someone live in that house?

5. Here you go.

Things are exciting in a more small town way in North Mississippi. Todd Sedgwick, a volunteer who has come down from Washington, has been beating the bushes working on turnout in Oxford, and having the exhilarating experience of working with a community that wants to make history, as he’s trying to help Obama achieve a blow-out victory today. A call came looking for a sign for a well-located house on South Lamar in Oxford– the home of William Faulkner’s niece Dean Wells, who lives in the house William Faulkner built for his mother and her grandmother (you’ll note in the picture that Faulkner’s antecedents spelled the name without the “u”). Dean Faulkner Wells is a huge supporter of Barack Obama. So here’s a picture of Mississippi history and Mississippi literature having a little meet-up in Oxford.

7. the Obama sign and Faulkner

The sign was there at the request of the home owner, as noted
in the post from www.folo.us that janeaustin quotes.  It was a
fun sidelight to a busy few days working on turnout!

4. If Faulkner were alive today, he'd support Obama too...

right before he puked on himself and downed a fifth of bourbon, not necessarily in that order. :silly:
