I’ll leave it to your imagination and of course the story as to the object being described in this paragraph:

“I came to the conclusion that the world is a big place and there is more to life than watching the daily commuter traffic, and allowing passing cats to urinate on you,” the note said. “So I decided to free myself from the doldrums of the shire and seek adventure. My travels have taken me across three continents, 12 countries and more time zones than I can possibly remember.”

If it weren’t for the part about the cats, I might have said it reminded me of the “Flat Stanley” project so many schools implemented a while back. I well remember receiving and sending more than one of those little guys!

A bit of “Odd News?” I’ll say!

This has got to be my favorite story of the entire election cycle:

RWV Excl: McCain Caught In Photo With Younger Woman

And from that “younger woman,” a few quotes which are simply delightful, not in her political preference, but rather the simplicity of statements such as these:

This will make American’s money last long and worth more. That means they can buy more stuff for less money again. Which is really good.

It’s like if you had 1 dollar now, you could only buy one piece of candy maybe a Hersheys bar or whatever you like. But with his plan that dollar could buy you more stuff probably two Hersheys bars. Families need that cause it takes a lot of dollars to buy everything they need and it would be nice to get more.

or this:

Influences: My Mom. Not my dad, cause he’s not Republican. But I still love him a lot, and he’s good for other stuff.

Ah, to be ten, so innocent so honest and so influential..she even convinced her Dad to vote for McCain.

Thanks to Riehl World View for sharing this light campaign moment with the rest of us! What fun!
