(118 posts)Thank you for all you do and are doing to keep DU up and running. It is very appreciated.
I voted on October 22nd, my husband as well.
When we were leaving, he said someone nearby had mentioned they lived on the same road while checking in. When we got in the car a gentleman was following behind us and approaching the car. My window was down, and I recognized him as someone I had met earlier in the year at the mailboxes at the end of the road. We acknowledged each other (he was parked next to us) and I said hello, we shook hands, and I introduced him to my husband. Very firm handshake as I recall from the mailboxes (arthritic knuckles got crushed - ouch!) We chatted a little while about aches and pains and getting older. Then he reminded me where he lived up the hill, the look of his house and having a huge djt flag flying high on his property.
I mentioned the best thing about aging is the wisdom that comes with it...and we parted ways with smiles. OMG! One never knows but I truly hope he is not terribly hardcore when he learns the results of this election. Years ago, a UPS driver had said to me the unbelievable amounts of ammunition delivered on our road. We were getting a delivery, and some boxes had fallen so he had to stack them back up against the wall of the truck. This was during the Obama years.
At the end of my driveway, I can see an enormous djt flag flying high (too high) on a property a couple of roads away. It is like they are flying it like their last stand. So proud and arrogant and definitely uninformed. I feel for them, but I prefer not seeing it in my line of sight. Oh well, there are quite a few trumpers close to us, but I do not feel anxious or fearful.
Again, thank you for this site!!! I don't know where I would find comfort if it was not here.
