My wife has a 5 day weekend which started today.  Yay for both of us!  She helped me with the grass piles in the yard this afternoon and I got most of the weedeating done.  The grass will not stop growing!  For some reason, it thinks it’s a golf course or something this year.  McCain chose Sarah Palin today for his running mate.  Very risky move and it has put me off.  Unless she comes through and proves her mettle, I will have a very hard time voting at all (Obama is not a choice for me and neither is Nader).  Presidential politics are becoming more and more like Hollywood races for the next blockbuster.  Who can put on the best show, who can make the most edgy move, who can do x which trumps y of the other guy.  Who cares?  Shouldn’t they just be worrying about how to run the country and how to bring us back to being the best we can be?  I’m sick of how they are treating the office of President.  If only our forefathers saw what it has become.  We watched an older movie, Reign of Fire, tonight.  It’s good if you like action and dragons.
