hummingwolf: Drawing of a creature that is part-wolf, part-hummingbird. (Hummingwolf by Dandelion)
I've got two brand-new candles, a flashlight & battery-powered radio that both worked within the last few days, two loads of laundry finished yesterday, plenty of food in cans and boxes, a week's worth of toilet paper, a bag of crispy mint M&Ms, a freshly-recharged cell phone, and the Kathy Mattea and Dougie Maclean versions of "Ready for the Storm" alternating in my head. What am I missing?

Here's hoping Hanna is kind to us and doesn't knock out our power or knock down our trees. We don't tend to get much tropical weather up here, and I have to say the area didn't deal with Isabel all that well when she visited a few years ago. This morning rain is very pleasant, though, and might be good for lulling me back to some much-needed sleep.

Political Post

As I discovered last week, the quickest way for me to take a burning bad mood and make it thermonuclear is to read about the political candidates (particularly the ones on the Other Side); so, since I already know who I'm voting for (unless he does something Dubya-level stupid between now and election day), I've mostly not been reading political stuff this week. It's not that a thermonuclear reaction isn't entertaining on occasion, but that I don't have the resources to clean up the fallout at the moment. Maybe later.

Anyway, there's one political post that did nothing to ruin my mood at all. Caution: Beware of clicking on the following link if you love Sarah Palin or hate filk: The very model of a modern-day conservative from [livejournal.com profile] flewellyn.
hummingwolf: (My world is askew!)
Because there is a chance that I will seem terribly biased against the Republican ticket as this election season progresses, I did want to point out one thing John McCain said recently which could be good news for a much-neglected demographic:

"We believe everyone has something to contribute and deserves the opportunity to reach their God-given potential from the boy whose descendants arrived on the Mayflower to the Latina daughter of migrant workers. We’re all God’s children and we’re all Americans."


McCain/Palin: The Clear Choice for Time-Travelers!!!


Edit: Could this be related??
