Drizzle

That's the best way to describe today's weather - and it's chilly, too. Not welcome after a really nice week last week weather-wise! Ah well, this is Spring. For the most part, it's been good.

This weather kinda makes my head feel full, though. So far, during this campaign, I've avoided being ill. I don't feel ill now but just kinda on the edge. Still, we press on - a busy day of domestic violence hearings today, an appearance tonight and the balance of the evening running errands and then finishing with doing a few at home, all for the election. And now a few minutes to add to this -

A particular sign stealing is bothering me. There's a spot in Stealey where I had a sign for about three weeks, with permission of the landowner. All of a sudden, one day last week, a big sign for my opponent appeared on the spot and mine is gone. I called the landlord who apologized, told me that my opponent did have permission but that my sign was not to have been removed. I was invited to put another sign there, which I did promptly, and it promptly was removed as well. The landlord once again apologized. I do not blame my opponent but I think I know who the culprit is because of a nearby business. If this individual is the culprit I certainly hope he is caught and prosecuted - whoever the culprit or culprits are, I hope that. This one is particularly disgusting to me because the appearance is that it is blatant disregard for the law and disrespect for the rights of citizens.

I hear that a scavenger hunt is in progress in our area and that many campaign signs may have fallen prey to it. The Sheriff and his staff are aware and on the lookout.

Two weeks from tomorrow! Some have said that most voters have made up their minds. Another candidate, who I respect, said it's time to ease up, there's no need to spend any more money, put out any more signs or attend any more functions. Interesting thoughts, to be sure...

Lots to do tomorrow and the weather promises to be even worse than today. Busy day of court and then many campaign and other errands tomorrow night before my trip on Wednesday. Will tell you about that soon - until then -
