Interruptions, Voting, and Nasty Little Mousies
2004-10-25, 11:41 p.m.

My show came on at 6:00 this evening. At 6:01, there was both a ringing phone and ringing doorbell.

Never fails.

I did get to see most of my show, however, so overall I�m happy.

********************************

For whom shall I vote? THIS guy.

Why?

Agree with him or not, you know where he stands. He doesn�t ask you to like him. He asks you to trust in his long-term visions for this nation. He knows and respects that Congress really has the ultimate say in things, and that he is but a guiding force. Does the President alone make laws or order around the armed forces or control the nation�s economy? No, of course not. This is a republic, not an empire. A vote for President is a vote for the overall direction for the nation, not a guarantee that the government as a whole will take that lead. It�s a vote of faith and hope and trust. There are plenty of pundits out there who phrase things far more eloquently than I and go over point by laborious point, so I will defer the specifics to them. Let it suffice that the candidate who best overall meshes with my views and beliefs is President Bush.

Son came out of his room to tell me that he saw a mouse. Nifty. His room is spotless, vacuumed and scrubbed and dusted and organized, but still, a mouse invades. I bet it�s the one the cat hauled home earlier. He toyed with it on the driveway rather than give the wee beastie a swift and merciful end, so instead the escapee is hiding out IN OUR HOME. Ick. I am not about to grant asylum. I set a trap and am praying it catches the thing tonight. TONIGHT.
