Weird day.

Well, I got much of the list completed. I did not call the dentist, it just slipped. As well, I have had a devil of a time staying awake. Sleeping on and off, crashing to sleep then dragging my self back to consciousness. And, it looks like I will need to shovel the snow. I do not believe the snow blower is the way I should go. As I said, I believe I will shovel.

After the announcement that Fred Thompson was withdrawing from the race, I realize there is no one running who is representative of my views. The remaining candidates are either liberal or “conservative” versions of progressive politics. Thompson would have been tolerable at most, he is not a great loss individually. However, he was the only marginally conservative candidate remaining in the race and in his loss is an end of hope for this election cycle. To the south of him, the Huck McJuliomny conglomeration is just a Democratic preference. If one of those four win, the Democrats realize they will still have a Democrat in office. And of course, who would vote for a weak Democrat when they could have the real deal? People drank RC because it was cheap, votes are free if the cost will arrive harshly in truth and in time, short or long. Neither a conservative, liberal, or moderate would vote for a leftist conservative, so the beast of four is headed for solid defeat. Will I vote? Maybe, but not for anyone running. There is a blank line, and for president, I will use this. Oh, and it will not be Fred “barely saw ya, barely knew ya, gotta go” Thompson, it will be Hunter who gets my nod.

I just called my Mother. I started thinking, with all this snow, I wonder if she has enough food and things laid in so that she can handle an extended period down? Does she have people coming by and checking in and on her? The call was good, she is doing well. She has plenty of provisions. And, she is being tended, at least twice daily, by visitors or phone checks. Anyway, now I had best get out and do that bit of shoveling. Though I will not do my several of my neighbor's walks and such this time.
