Okay, so I’ve been on one of my unannounced sabbaticals. I’ve been doing a little traveling and a lot of goofing off. Anne and I just got back from a house party with some old friends in Northern Virginia, and before that, we spent some time on Oak Island. Mostly, though, I’ve just been vegging and thinking.
A few months ago, I thought the choices facing us in the upcoming election were pretty simple. “Anybody But Bucky” and “Throw the Bastards Out” seemed to be all county voters needed to consider. And to a certain extent, that’s still true. The one conclusion I’ve come to though, is that each candidate must be considered on his or her individual merits. Party affiliation should play no part in anyone’s decision. It is the political parties, Democrat and Republican/Tea Party, that have led us down the primrose path. In the coming days and weeks, we’ll talk about it.

*****Almost was thinkin’ that Dalton got to you to!!!!
Glad you’re back, alot is happening & we need this venue. We’ve been using Eastern Wythe co. on FB to get info out.
also with the EMS controversay, a nice fellow had videod the EMS budget committee meeting & the last BOS meeting & posted them on Youtube/alot of people have contacted me with very positive responses about viewing. So that may be the way to go & than everyone can form their own opinions.
I’ve always voted for the person & merits, as you know I’m vocal but right & wrong are my priorities, & patriotism .
I had a huge spider like that in my garden & I did it in. Mine was territorial & aggressive, way to omnious.
