My Good Deed

Rain rain rain.
We got a lot of it today.
Started around 10 AM, and had at least an inch by 3 this afternoon.
The leaves being blown off the trees onto the road made some turns and intersections like trying to stop on ice.
We have a lot of visitors come around here on the weekends since we have George Washington's boyhood home, and Stratford Hall, and James Monroe's home, and a few other places people like to visit, and they are not used to driving the back roads, much less under adverse conditions like we had today.
A few of us had decided to put out some crab pots one last time earlier in the day, and I had decided to drive down to the boat dock and check to see if the boats were still tied off OK, and shoot the breeze with the others for a while, just an excuse to get out of the house really.
Well, on the way home, Just past Monroe Hall, I saw some flashing lights, and I knew what it was before I got there, because when you come out of Monroe's home, you crest a hill and come to a stop sign in a short distance, and the combination of that, and the hard rain, and the slick leaves had left a family stuck in a ditch.
Without asking, I just pulled around them, and then back up some, got out and hooked my chain to their tow mount on the frame, and then to my hitch on the truck, I went to the window and told the guy just put it in neutral and turn the wheels and I will ease it out.
Sure enough, a minute later he was out, and I was unhooking the chain. He got out and said " I tried to call for a tow, but had no cell signal ". I said " yeah, signal is a little weak down here ".
He then said " can I pay you something ? " I said no.
He then said " you still have a McCain sticker on your truck, you guy's do know Obama won right, ha ha "
I guess I should have charged him
But anyway, it's always nice to help someone, made me think of this song

Hard For The Dems

Have you seen these clips ?









It just keeps getting better



These people have forgotten who they work for, and it is time for them to go back home.
I would bet many are afraid to go home after Friday because they know it will be time to face the music. Time to face the people that they work for.
Remember people,
Be active
Be informed
Stand your ground
Let them know how you feel, and most of all, let them know that if they do not speak for you, they will lose the opportunity to speak again
Maybe instead of sending them tea bags, we should send them employment ads
