Oh what a wonderful day it is when you finally wake up without a mild headache and slight dizziness. I actually had the focus to go running for the first time in about five days, side ache and all. A curious thing on my run was that I noticed the extreme lack of political signs in yards that used to have signs before. At least I thought I remembered such things. Some places just have what used to hold a sign sitting in a yard, no signs to be found otherwise.
What really struck me was one, huge sign in particular that I ran by. It was a “Firefighters For Kerry” sign. Big, bright, and yellow, it’s really easy to miss. This reason is due to it’s placement. I saw it hiding behind a row of bushes that were right next to the sidewalk. I literally had to strain over the tops of them to just see what it said.
There’s another sign downtown that is spray painted on a bed sheet, stuck onto the front of a house. It reads, “your vote does not count.” A strange twist on the normal political what not going on around here. Sadly, I missed Ashton Kutcher’s march around campus in support of Kerry today.
I miss all the fun.
