The tactics of campaign messages

One man's prediction that the presidential race will not be close. Food for thought, for me anyway.

(My first question to myself: Why have I never before questioned the idea that the race will be close? Not that I'm necessarily agreeing with Roberts; I'm wondering why I didn't draw my own conclusion.)

Kitties in Florida

My fingers are crossed for Groveland, Florida, where a friend of mine lives in a trailer.

He's going to ride out the storm in a friend's basement, where there will be some sort of gathering of buddies. As for the trailer and its contents, I understand him to say that whatever happens is "fate". Personal possessions aren't meaningful to him.

Two kitties live in that trailer with him. I am worried about them.
