I just love this time of year. I love Florida and I have always said I am a native at heart, but I miss a few things about living up north. One of them is fall. There is nothing like taking a walk on a beautiful autumn day with the leaves changing and the smell in the air. I miss going to a football game on a crisp afternoon wearing a sweater and drinking a cup of cocoa.
But the event I love most about this time of year and unfortunately it only happens every four years, is the presidential election. I adore all the political ads where the candidates trash each other. I love how everyone adds those attractive support signs in their yard and the bumpers for the cars. And of course my absolute favorite part of this whole process is when they cancel all my favorite shows for the debates!
Seriously, hopefully you all were watching the debates this evening and plan on watching the upcoming ones. I personally find it difficult to follow because you do not know who is telling the truth without having the benefit of all their past voting records on all the issues. Senator Biden says Obama did not vote for something or other and Governor Palin says he did and vice versa. How are we supposed to know what's correct unless we have time to research every bill and issue covered in their careers. Now I may be disabled and not working, but who has that kind of time or interest? I guess it might help if you have insomnia.
What's even better is watching all these celebrities that think they know politics making all these off the wall comments and people actually believe they know what they are talking about. That's not saying much as these are the same people that think celebrities lives are in order and elevate them as role models when their lives are more messed up than the majority of ours. Yeah like I'm going to heed to Whoopi Goldberg's or Matt Damon's opinions.
Thank goodness it's almost over and we will get to live with our decisions and see if we were right. Exciting times we live in!
Good Night
