11901. Magoseph - 11/2/2004 8:02:03 PM I had another confrontation with a fat coward who passed me on the sidewalk when I was walking from a house I had just worked. He said, "With that Kerry button on, I can see that you didn't serve in Vietnam." In so many words I corrected him by telling him that I went there twice as a Recon Marine. I then asked him, "What were you? A fucking Army cook?" He then said some more, including a "fuck you." I then yelled at him, "Come on back here you fat fucking yellow bastard and say that." He was about 6 foot and between 250 and 300 pounds. He got in his truck and took off. I chased him on foot just for show and to rub it in.
We've had other teams experience similar treatment. One of the Insulators Union guys from New Jersey punched out some prick who mouthed off to him. There seems to be a pattern with these loudmouths. They'll yell something like, "commie," or "pacifist" but then flee when they find out you are neither, especially the latter.
I'm getting too old to get into fistfights but, dammit, a fellow just can't allow such misconduct around himself.
Anyway, we're out again tomorrow. I'm early-voting in the morning. The early voting has been huge. There are typically two- and three-hour waits to vote. Most of it is caused by the large number of voters and six constitutional amendments on the back of the ballot.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Changing gears here, I saw a bumper sticker on a truck yesterday that read:
YES this is my truck/NO I will not help you move 11903. Magoseph - 11/3/2004 3:36:59 PM How about some more Texan jokes, Jen? Hello, everyone--on my way to town by foot; never mind that the temperature is beloww 50 degrees.
Hi, Mac. 11904. Macnas - 11/3/2004 3:42:12 PM Hello Mago! 11905. judithathome - 11/3/2004 4:17:52 PM Jen won't tell the best Texas joke.
George Bush. 11906. Jenerator - 11/3/2004 5:57:30 PM That doesn't really work, Judith.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
George Bush.
George Bush who?
George Bush, that's who. 11907. judithathome - 11/3/2004 10:29:50 PM Hey, it works for me...mine, I mean.
Enjoy it while you can. 11908. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 12:03:38 PM The two preceding posts are not understood by me, J and J. Stop playing with my mind because right now, it is in a precarious state. Give some sexy jokes, please.
11909. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 12:04:13 PM Hey, Mac. 11910. Macnas - 11/4/2004 12:09:17 PM Howdy Mago 11911. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 12:20:13 PM 
This is Judith's armoire from Scotland...it's in the upper level of her garden room.
11912. Macnas - 11/4/2004 12:23:16 PM Nice veneer work, wonder how old it is? 11913. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 12:23:25 PM Mac, I'm fine, thanks, gun-ho ready to walk my two morning miles under the rain.
Nice armoire above, yes? 11914. Macnas - 11/4/2004 12:31:47 PM Very nice. Be sure to stay dry now. 11915. Macnas - 11/4/2004 1:40:58 PM Look at this, it's a family who have photographed themselves once a year since 1976, kind of cool I think.
11916. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 2:13:22 PM Amazing and fascinating, Mac, thanks for sharing this with us. 11917. Jenerator - 11/4/2004 4:55:00 PM Mags,
I only know silly pirate jokes.
Love the armoir, Judith! 11918. Ms. No - 11/4/2004 6:32:38 PM Ha! That pic was the first thing I saw when I came in here and I thought "Wow, that sure looks like Judith's house." 11919. ElliottRW - 11/4/2004 8:11:16 PM Advise me:
At some point I would like to start a discussion about a post-Castro Cuba. I think it is now likely that Castro will die or otherwise stop ruling Cuba sometime in the next four years. What will/should the Bush administration do?
My question: is this more of an International issue or an American Politics issue? 11920. Magoseph - 11/4/2004 8:39:35 PM I would say that it is more of an International issue. However, Pelle, Wabbit, Ms. No, or Arky may give you better advice, Elliott.
