I am tired of worrying about the election. Insulted by the 'one woman fits all' that the Republicans have decided would be their answer to equality. Worried that we will have 4 more years of the same or, if that isn't bad enough, that if McCain wins and then dies that we will have someone with so little experience and knowledge that I wouldn't have nomiated her for a PTA committee chair. And I am also afraid that if Obama loses the election and there is a shadow of a doubt that the election was not quite honest that I will seriously wonder if my vote means anything. My family has always treated the vote as the most serious and effective duty of all Americans, and I will not give it up willingly, but sadly as I see the passing of our time.
Beautiful fall day, a bit windy but sunny. Spinach still refuses to die and I picked broccoli shoots from the big stems that have already given me large broccoli heads. On a day like this I can pretend that winter will not bring the hardships that are sure to come with our economic crisis (I guess I should call it honestly--depression). I am finishing the baby blanket that I am knitting for my niece's first born who should be with us sometime in December.
