guess who's coming to speak at asheville high school tomorrow?

barack obama.

nacho and i trekked down there to check it out. nobody was camping out like i thought there'd be.

they're unloading trucks of podiums and cables and signs. the stadium is beautiful with the blue ridge mountains in the background.

i've heard that sarah palin 'rebounded' in the debate last night. so, blatantly ignoring the actual questions asked of you and rambling your memorized talking points equals good?

i can't imagine her sitting down with a foreign diplomat who needed a translator. would the translator wink? what would the translator do with "joe six pack"? she is an embarrasment. you betcha.

and is it too much to ask that the VP candidate can pronounce NUCLEAR?

nuke. lee. er. voila! (vwala)

vast variety

KATIE COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?

SARAH PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —

COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.

PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

if it is such a 'vast variety' why did she blank out, unable to name ONE newspaper or magazine that she reads?

is any single thing about her honest? or intelligent?

"that dog made a break for freedom"

dogwalking question

rocky and grace's mom thinks nacho's name is taco. when she saw us coming down the street nacho got low to the ground, put his ears back, and wagged his tail so hard his whole back half swayed and she said 'it's taco! the friendliest polar bear in the world! hey taco...'
should i correct her?

i went to a ladies' clothing swap this weekend at my friend michelle's house. it was separated - tops in one room, pants/dresses in another room, accessories/shoes in another room. i got rid of some clothes i never wear, and got some clothes i will wear, and we all had a super potluck in a sweet old house painted like a creamsicle in the middle of a national forest with kobe beef cattle grazing on the other side of the hill. and all the extra clothes are going to a local women's shelter.

this guy was struggling with one functioning wing on the street today. the kindest thing would probably have been to kill it, but i didn't.

holden and nacho are the luckiest dogs on the block! they got a box full of ginger treats in the mail today from bone appetit in east greenwich, rhode island. were those from their uncle henry? they say 'thank you! ruff ruff!'
