The Creepiest Polling Place Ever

Okay, maybe not THE creepiest, but it's up there. At least the road leading to it has finally been paved, as voting at a white, southern Baptist church deep in the woods at the end of a dirt road was even sketchier.

I don't know what was up with these broken headstones leaning against this tree...there were oddly situated head stones all over the place...Halloween meets Election Day?

We began the day before the sun came up, and did the last shift of the day as well. The fence behind the McCain sign encircles a small, very old graveyard.

The Shrek Donkey was our mascot for the day...it was great watching all the little kids trying to drag their Republican parents over to our table so they could say hi to it.
It probably won't come as a surprise that this particular precinct went for McCain. The people working the McCain table were friendly enough, even if the dippy teenager who staffed the table at the end of the day was wearing a pink "Team Sarah" t-shirt with an anti-abortion bumper sticker plastered across her belly, complete with fetus picture...it looked like she may have been pregnant, but I'm not sure. So glad it's all over...

Kittehs 4 Obama

When I stumbled from the bedroom this morning I discovered that my wife had been busy decorating the cats. Not surprisingly, Orion was the only volunteer for modeling this custom-kitty Obama-wear.

The Perils of Nude Fly Fishing

This was hanging in my mechanics garage. I think it used to be a t-shirt before someone decided to cut it out and tack it up as an admonition to those who would go au natural in their bonding rituals with nature.

Bumper Sticker TMI

The location of this sticker, the hood of the car, is probably intended as a warning for approaching police officers making that walk from their cruiser back to the nervously awaiting driver. This will either make them laugh, putting them in a better mood (always a plus when a ticket is forthcoming), or, if this is a true message, it will tell them that you aren't really up for a road side sobriety test--unless of course you're looking for an indecent exposure charge to accompany that speeding ticket.

Post-Halloween Hangover?

Even PatrĂ³n is a lightweight when matched up
with generic blurry head-ache medicine...
...probably not, but it was a nice thought.

Halloween with John, Joe and Barack

It's no surprise that little John McCain and tall, dark and handsome Barack Obama showed up looking for candy last night, but we didn't realize until viewing this picture that Dave appears to resemble Joe the Plumber. The "Make Love, Not War" Shirt adds a little something, I think.

Good-bye, October...

...with your constant reminders of breast cancer awareness,
some of which were BRILLIANT!
