Here I am back!
I won't ask if you missed me, since that sounds all needy and whiny and stuff.
It's been a couple of weeks since I posted anything. I was down a few days with a bug (MAYBE I ate some of that bad spinach going around, although Caro and Mike had no reaction to that particular salad), and then was immersed in catching up for a few days, and after that...I dunno. I just had too many things to say and didn't know where to start, I guess.
Yesterday Mike and I were in a parade. He had been a little sad to miss riding on the Dem float during Sand and Sage fair week, so at our weekly work session I asked if we were going to have a float in the parade for the Holly Gateway fair.
Funny I should mention it. Turns out everyone else had prior commitments, and they had been going to skip it. But if MIKE wanted to ride, he and I could be the float! So our Chair arranged for the borrowing of a very sweet new hybrid GMC pick-up, and the lender even threw in some bales of hay to stick signs in.
Caro and Mike made another sign, for our big Meet the Candidates gig next week and we were good to go!
Mike hiding in a forest of signs behind the cut.
There was a great turnout, and we were glad we did it, even though Mike almost froze solid in the brisk breeze, waiting patiently for the parade to start.
This next bit will probably only be funny to Coloradans, unless you just want to admire my mad Photoshop skilz.
The GOP candidate for Governor is getting whupped bad in the polls, partly because as one Denver editorialist put it, he's running the worst campaign in history not involving a wintertime assault on Moscow, and partly because he picked up the richly deserved nickname "Both Ways Bob" early on and can't shake it.
So this is his campaign sign here in Lamar (which some dolt spray painted. NOT me or anyone I know.), across the street from the Wal-mart.
This is my version where I helped fix what the artist left out.
Having some fun now, eh kids?
