“So Anne, the Republicans have cancelled the first day of their convention.” “Is that because of lack of interest?” She was joking, but she was also right. None of the major networks, including Fox, were willing to cover Monday night’s convention anyway. Hurricane Isaac then becomes a convenient scapegoat for calling it a day. Isaac is the ‘I’ letter named storm of this season. Could it be that the next named storm, the ‘J’ letter named storm is called Joe, as in Joe Biden? Biden is scheduled to crash the party sometime this week. He is scheduled to speak from Tampa. Back in the day, as late as the last campaign cycle, the opposing party’s candidates would take the opportunity for one last vacation during their opponent’s convention. Enjoy one last chance to rest and recuperate, before the final onslaught. I guess that those days are gone. In this new new scorched earth political environment, the Democrats feel that they can’t remain silent for even this week. They are trying to defuse the so-called convention bounce. So send in Biden the wrecking crew, maybe he can stir things up. If he says or does anything wrong, well that’s just Biden being Biden. Hey, maybe his motorcade can delay Romney’s on Thursday night. 😆

I feel a little bit disingenuous going with a nature picture and title for what was ultimately a political post. Say hey, it’s my soapbox. The photo isn’t even one of mine. Anne took it. The subject is classical Anne. What to me would be a ‘Pooh Picture’, which you could read as a poo picture in my estimation. The once denigrated ‘Pooh Picture’ with practice and effort has improved. So much so that her eye can see and express things that I cannot. We often joke about stealing each other pictures, but I would have never seen this one if she hadn’t shown it to me first.

She is my wit. She is my wisdom. She is my muse.
