Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the last minute to research the local candidates. My gosh I never imagined all the goings on behind the scenes. One candidate and his son getting into a physical confrontation with another candidate at a local bar. Another candidate stealing the campaign signs of yet another contender. All this going on in Del Rio...isn't the internet wonderful?
On my way back home, I was going to stop at the laundromat. There were more people washing clothes than voting! Since I do not do crowds...the clothes will have wait for another opportunity.
I don't know if Frann still reads me but I thought of her today when I saw Kinky Friedman on the ballot. Who knew he was running for Texas Agricultural Commissioner? OK, enough about politics!
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
There is something to be said to 'vote by mail', then again you don't get the 'feel' of stepping into a voter booth.
ReplyDeleteI guess nothing is really free.
I guess I never looked into voting by mail, could be an option in the future.
DeleteI remember when Kinky was running for office before. From the little I know about him, I like him.
ReplyDeleteI remember him running for Governor of Texas but I had no idea he had his eyes set on another political position this time around.
DeleteI love Kinky! My g/dotter interviewed him when he was running for gov, and he was living in Kerrville.
ReplyDeleteHow neat to have personally interviewed Kinky, bet she really enjoyed that.
DeleteYou did your civic duty anyway. I've read a few of Kinky's books a number of years ago. They were pretty funny but I got sick of the profanity and sex in them, and I don't even mind profanity and sex. He was just over the top, but oh, so funny.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he was an author. Actually I really do not know that much about him. Maybe that is where he got his nickname?
DeleteFrann named her dog after him :D
