Early November

A fine tale about your uncles, Mr. Beagles, and easy to visualize a couple of kids hiding in the mud after their little stunt.  I think Ah-nuld did the same thing in the movie Predator and he got away with it too.  I doubt that the .22 caused any damage to the plane but the pilot didn't know that; maybe all he saw were a couple of figures and some smoke from a long gun.  But at a distance a couple of kids with a .22 could be mistaken for adults with a 30-06, hence the immediate response.  Better safe than sorry.  Think those boys needed a change of underwear?

Tomorrow is a big day for some and I'll be glad when it's over and we enter a new phase of conspiracy theories.  This is the first time that I've seen such a large amount of early votes, more than 75 million so far; that's got to mean something.  And I wonder if some folks are taking a longer view in case something would happen to the new president.  The notion of a President Vance does not give me comfort.  There is a bright side to all of this political darkness, though.  I don't think I'm the only person looking forward to the sentencing of a certain individual with 34 felony convictions.
