Candidate Worley now has his website up and going and is putting signs out all this week. This race is purely a crazy thing, an affliction besetting our little county. Some candidates have what looks like hundreds of signs. I don't have the time to make many signs or much time to put them up. The first two signs I put up are located next to the CVS and across from New Hope Baptist Church. Putting them up was an insane thing done nearly at midnight before the breakfast. It was a cool night and my younger brother and I loaded up the signs and rode to the destinations. Putting them up was interesting - we can barely see what we are doing, and I must admit how thankful I am to have my brother who has been working in construction while I did...work that does not lend itself to exercise. Unlike my fellow candidates, Chris had built my signs from wood, and hammered wooden stakes made from 8-foot two by fours to hold them. Other candidates used metal posts; my budget didn't allow for this, and my construction expert believes my signs will work just fine. We shall see in the coming weeks. My main worry after we got them up was that they may not show up as well as intended. The signs are yellow text on black background (opposite of Britney Pittman's). I couldn't read the text very well myself from our headlights but Chris claimed it showed up well enough, although not as bright as he had hoped either. Oh well, at least I am now a real contender. In the coming days I will have to officially register and qualify.

Time Gaps...

Loyal readers of the blog (like there's 2 of you) will note the time gap between this post and the previous one. I didn't exactly stop writing, but I did stop publishing for a while as I wrote and then considered whether anything I wrote was worth it. Then I said, "Well bugger it!" and then decided if I was gonna write stuff, I may as well publish it somewhere.

So I've gone back to the blog. Theoretically posts after today will be a bit more timely, while previous posts may not match their time period (I didn't really keep up with when things were written, and in many cases used actual paper to write my spiels). From this point I hope to blog bloody daily as best as I can. It would be nice if readership picks up, but we'll just have to see. I've got plenty to say still, and I will push it on here as often as I can.

To update a little bit - I've been sucked into the craziness that is running for County Commissioner in Murray County. As of today, I still have to finish my signs and post them around the county. I also still have to qualify, but I'm ready for that point. Most people probably won't know I'm running till Friday morning, when I'll attend a breakfast held at the Senior Citizen's Center. I'm excited, and even if I don't win this particular race I'll be happy for the experience.
