TRICK OR TREAT

Saturday, November 3. 2012

Despite being the highly stressed head of a struggling startup company, Kell doesn’t want to miss out on Coney’s formative years. So, she forced herself to get home at 6:00 so she could take her out trick or treating.
She’d already promised the mothers of Lin and Francis that the three kids would go out together, and they were dropped off at the house after dinner. Francis was a Dr. Who Tardis, Lin was an astronaut (excellent choice) and Coney was a fairy princess. After ninety minutes their bags were full.
Dad, meanwhile, stayed home to hand out treats. Rudy had his friends over, and a splendid time was had by all.
Here at the university there aren’t many kids at trick or treating age, except for professor’s kids whose costumes are always much too high-concept. One child painted himself red from head to toe and went as a Mark Rothko painting.
Now go vote!

Took care of voting last week! Yeah for mail-in ballots, boo for the noise level continuing to rise. I haven't turned on my radio or TV for the last two months (no joke). I may have to wait until after the inaugration for things to get back to normal. If not longer. Depends on how long the Tuesday evening quarterbacks keep whinging.

So if Obama is a gazelle/deer mix, what does that make Mitt Romney?

A Chameleon. He keeps changing his ideological colors so often that I'm surprised he hasn't dropped dead from exhaustion.

There's an old joke about Election Day being just after Halloween because city bosses can have zombies show up at the polls. As for waiting for the noise level to die down, I imagine it will continue on some level, at least on the human side of the portal. After a few months to lick it's wounds, the side that didn't win will be back to oppose the one that did at every turn.

Their will always be someone who doesn't like the outcome of any election. The losers will blame the neg. attack ads for their defeat. Even if all said ads came from their side of the race.

I read the strip where Rudy's fleas had to help him with his password. Don't you all worry about your fleas learning such sensitive info and passing it along or selling it?

That's true. I remember the time they found out that Fenton's mother was a vampire bat. Within hrs. the whole town knew. That's when most of the guests for their wedding turned chicken & refused to attend. Had they waited 24 hrs. the wedding w2ould have been over & the happy couple just leaving on their honeymoon.

I hope Kevin checked the vitriol level in that stuff first. He may need to add extra lime to neutralize it.
