I have off from my part-time job today and tomorrow. Goody! Today, my goal is to winterize critical elements on my property. An electrician is coming to help. My part-time job is tiring because the store hasn’t enough employees. After working extra hours, I crave fun. Completing the most demanding work today will free me for horseback riding tomorrow.

Yesterday, my friend Bill surprised me with some pairs of campaign socks. Before writing this morning, I grabbed today’s header from Amazon’s site (quicker and easier than photographing my socks). Bill already had provided me with yard-style campaign signs; the fun socks are pièce de résistance.

I haven’t staked out those yard signs, fearing they might be stolen, and I won’t wear the campaign socks to avoid being categorized and challenged. However, I will add all these campaign pieces to my growing collection of “social and political change” souvenirs. Those include magazines’ and newspapers’ original announcements of Obama’s first Presidential win, socks carrying the image of RGB, and now, my Harris/Walz campaign signs and the image socks.

Thank you, Bill!

This campaign season will end in a couple of weeks. Regardless of who becomes this nation’s president, we’ve witnessed evidence that its mass population actively wants social and political changes. We’re all woke, for better or worse, and undoubtedly will experience changes. For reasonable reasons, everybody’s on edge.

Dear Friends: I might carry a sock pair in my pocket for flashing when appropriate. Diana
