for the dems

I ended up getting a little lost using the directions Graham (the farmer) had sent via text – it turns out I was supposed to be coming from a different highway, so the turns were off. The first time I saw this highway sign, I thought it was just something someone had put up, and didn’t make the connection that I was in the middle of a stretch of highway between the cities of Gore (“Brown Trout Fishing Capital of the World”) and Clinton (“Our Three-Horse Town”). As Graham said later when I mentioned my amusement, “I don’t think we’ll be seeing one named after your current president anytime soon.” Maybe it’s just the circles I’m running in, but I haven’t met a supporter of the current administration yet…I don’t bring up politics, but the topic rears its head often.
