Election Day

Oddly, I am full of hope today, election day. Living in a small town in the middle of Missouri there are a lot of McCain-Palin signs - my neighbor has three in her yard. The rumors and tales are plentiful - buying in to every conspiracy theory about Obama. Meanwhile, I am full of anxious hope that Obama will win - stifled glee that someone who isn't embarrassing, portraying us as nation of hillbillies, has a shot at the Whitehouse-someone who sounds smart and hopefully IS smart! When the pollsters call, I somehow have gotten on a list and have gotten at least 2 calls from live humans a night, I tell them, "Obama better win." Now, all we can do is wait and see. I don't know what I hope for - the government will continue to tick me off. I just feel an impending sense of relief that our nation's status in the world can be mended.

By the way, I did get a small camera so I will be photographing this brand new day. There is a new cat next door - they call her Silly. She is small and social. She begs to be a star!
