PSA

I already voted this weekend (absentee so that there is at least a paper trail) but this is a good thing to remember tomorrow when you hit the polls:

When you go to the polls on November 7th, 2006, don’t forget what the Republicans have been doing to you and your family for the past six years.

It’s easy to get distracted in our attention deficit disorder world. We need a pill to help us focus, another to keep us sane, some to raise our level of arousal and others to put us to bed at night.

There are a lot of people vying for our hard-earned nickels.

The most sinister of the strangers trying to steal our hard-earned nickels are called “politicians”.

We are five days out from election day {editor's note, this was written 4 days ago.-kn} and the sound bites are flying. Polls don’t look good for President Bush, but the Pit Bulls have clamped down hard on John Kerry. They are trying to distract voters.

Now back to me, we had six winemakers in town from Spain (four of them women!). So as to use their time most efficiently we had a trade tasting and I spent a good portion of my work day pouring wine and talking about it. Before that I got to take them around downtown and show off the Pike Place Market (although the pissing down rain was a bit depressing).

Upsides: I got to speak in Spanish, I didn't visit customers today - they came to me, I met 7 remarkable people (the other one was the importer of the wines), I tasted great wine most of the day, and now I have 6 places to visit the next time I go to Spain.

Downsides: Are you kidding me?
