Yikes.
On our evening walk yesterday, we ran into folks from a few blocks over: Tish & Mark. We love them. They're fun and funny and just very easy going.
This is unfortunate because Shep does not like Mark. He barks like a banshee (sometimes) when he sees him. Mark loves dogs but cannot have one as Tish is allergic - even to doodles.
Sometimes our conversations on our walks are limited due to Mr. Barky Pants.
We haven't seen them in a week or so, but as we approached each other Tish delicately asks (and I'm paraphrasing) "how's the news treating you these days?"
We all knew what she meant.
There was a pause and an awkward laugh, but then I said, "well, I've stepped back off the cliff. I'm feeling this (visualize two fingers barely apart) much more hopeful than I was a week ago."
Mark quips: "I'd vote for your dog before I voted for "BLOTUS"".
Naturally, we had a fun back and forth over, "but Shep doesn't like you", to which he replied, "I know, and I'd still vote for him".
But it's true. While I have successfully avoided ANY newspaper or news show, and maybe because of that, I do feel "this" much more optimistic. My sister - who is arguably more fatalistic than I - thinks there is no way VonShitzhisPanz can win. I do hope she is correct.
There seems to be an energy now that did not exist with Pappy Joe's campaign.
Let's hope it remains.

I'd vote for Shep before I'd vote for the felon. I and I have never met your dog.
Exhausted and Tired of politics. Let’s take a month off.
