Post-Election Bonus
November 5, 2004
Hi
The election is over, except for the post mortems. Hmmm. If I remember my
Latin, that is after death. Hmmm.
I am alive and well, elected for 'four more years.' The World-Herald does
not come near the correct vote count, so for all, near and far, the best number
I have is 7,500 for me and 3,300 for Tony FastHorse. So an old lion is faster
than a fast horse. His only comment: "I will be back."
This surely the time to say a mighty THANK YOU. So many of you have helped
in such a variety of ways these past eight years: stapling signs, receiving
signs, putting out signs, taking them up -- a huge chore. Plus consultation,
prayer, encouragement, $$$, ideas, and most of all, support for Ruth and me in
the emotional and physical energy that this takes. Thank you, thank you.
We are both ready to devote our emotional energy to the task at hand, to
learning more about the issues in front of us, more about the interests of our
people, and a lot more about which strategies will work and which are simply ra
ising dust. I am not against raising dust, but am far more interested in being
effective in change.
A small bonus. We have yard signs to recycle. They work for garage sales,
church bazaars, etc. and the wires, we just learned, are excellent for quietly
propping up peonies and other assorted flowers. A friend and I picked up
about 500, of all shapes and sizes. I refuse to let the good steel wire go to a
landfill. Scouts could sell them for 50 cents apiece, since they cost us 75
cents. Welcome all inquiries!!
We pray for God's guidance to our people and our leaders, in local, state,
national and world responsibilities. We are in it for the long haul and it is
evident to me that God is also. We have done a good job of messing up the
world, so she has her work cut out. May we be helpful.
