Clinton’s Speech
I’m pretty sure I’m just reiterating everyone on the news and all those silly professionals about, but I really liked Clinton’s speech. I’ve been a tentative Obama supporter from the start (I say tentative because I’m always nervous when there’s such a strong fan base, especially when many of those around me can’t articulate why they support him other than he’s “cool”), but I think Clinton redeemed herself.
She didn’t have any other choice to support Obama, really, but it was still a great speech. She took her only option and ran with it–she created a lot of tag lines for him (No way No how No McCain) and she aimed her supporters at him by giving her reasons. That was the smartest part, I think. She told people why they should support Obama.
It was smart, eloquent, and her only option.
Life in Bellingham (a glimpse)
I’m walking back from checking my mail (nothing good–went straight into the paper recycling bin) and I look across the street and see a deer walking down the hill, trotting away.
For all my complaints about small-town living, I really do love that I see deer on at least a minimum of a weekly basis.
