So, to my surprise, my dad actually came to visit me today (Daddio has a slight history in bailing out on me), and we went to dinner, grabbed some Cold Stone ice cream, and then enjoyed one of my favorite past times: a fall drive. I absolutely LOVE fall drives. They combine 2 of my favorite things, which are beautiful fall colors and viewing great architecture. My area in St. Louis has some very interesting older homes, and the vibrant colors of the trees make them look even more interesting and appealing.
However, while on our drive throughout University City and Clayton, I was overwhelmed at the amount of Obama/Biden support signs in several yards. Actually, being the avid McCain/Palin supporter that I am, I was quite grossed out by them.
When I look out my own front door, I see several Obama/Biden signs polluting the yards down the street... not to mention the obnoxious one found in my own front yard. I was obviously not the one to put that crap in the yard... that faux pas goes to the landlord. Of course, I ordered a campaign sign to put on the other half of the yard... and I unfortunately didn't read the fine print on my lease. Apparently, no yard signs are allowed by the tenant. Pshhh.
BUT my landlord, being the swell guy and friend that he is, allowed me to put a McCain/Palin sign in the yard... with one stipulation: it could only be 2X2... INCHES. Me, being the smart ass that I am, jumped on it. I immediately went to work making a 2 inch by 2 inch campaign sign. That sign can barely be seen by the naked eye, but it is proudly displayed in the front yard. For any McCain/Palin supporter living in U-City, my little sign might be like finding a needle in a haystack... it's small and ranges from difficult to impossible to find, but it's awesome when it's found! Thanks for the smidge of political freedom, Jeff. :)
So... it's almost one day from E-day, and the polls are continuing to tighten up. My friends, THE MAC IS BACK!
P.S. Apparently the landlord and I were on the same brainwave the other night. These signs have been in the front yard for a few weeks now, and we both coincidentally decided to write a blog about our political battle. His story is crap, but you can read it and have a laugh here at Pomranka.net.
