After a successful day of campaigning...

...I usually have at least  two or three calls that are memorable.  Today there is one that I thought was a gas.  I knock on the door and this nice lady answers and the first words out of her mouth are, "Are you a Jehovah's Witness?"  (I've been called a lot of things in my years, but Jehovah's Witness has never been one of them).  I quickly replied "no ma'am, I'm your Monroe County Treasurer."  "Oh good,"  she replied, "because I was going to send you away if you were."  She smiled and asked, "You are a Christian aren't you? and I said, "Yes ma'am, born and raised Catholic."  After that we had a great conversation and she assured me that I had her vote.  I walked back to the car laughing to myself because of all the different reactions I get from people when they open the door, never in a million years did I think of myself as even remotely resembling a Jehovah's Witness.  This evening the RAIN chased us homeabout 8:00.  We had a pretty good downpour shortly after we pulled into the driveway.  The first one in months.  Yea!!!
