Just going to rattle off some stuff here because I don't have much time. Senator Obama, I predict, will convince Senator Joe Biden to become his running mate. How's that for a prediction. Maybe wishful thinking but there is a radiating simpatico there that I can't ignore. There is a no-nonsense directness they share that appeals to me. I may be repeating myself but there is an old Italian saying that goes something like, "between to say and to do is half an ocean." I see them, shirt sleeves rolled up, filling and placing the sand bags trying to save the town rather than working hard to avoid work like so many do. That's my dream ticket anyway.
Next, Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame who I admire, endorsed Senator Obama. Great news.
And finally a little joke. Funny to me anyway. I was in a local plant nursery yesterday and was waited on by my favorite Brooklyn, New York born clerk. One of those guy's who just puts a smile on your face when you see him. We were talking about this and that when I spotted some containers with some live snails inside that were for sale. I asked him about them and he said, " yeah, ya put dee's in da god'n and day eat da bad snail eggs, and da debris and udder stuff." He seemed a little strained having to explain this to me which green-lighted me to bust him a little bit so I said, wow you know a lot about these, you have some at home? They eat debris? and he says, yeah, da bree cheese. He claimed it with a high five and we laughed.
