The new ride is very smooth and much more comfortable for commuting.
Here's what she looks like.
On another note, the midterm elections are almost upon us and I find myself in a bit of a quandry. Our tiny state is a key battleground for potential control of the senate and yet I am hard pressed to vote for the candidate I distrust and view as a weasely looking character in spite of the fact that his victory could tip the balance to the Democrats. I can't explain it, but there's just something about the guy that I don't trust. And, I feel the incumbent has done a pretty good job of bucking the party leadership in the past and have little reason to believe he'll stop if he gets re-elected.
One thing I have to admit that's been enjoyable about this election cycle is watching the policies of this administration over the past 6 years beat the living crap out of Republican candidates across the country. They had the chance to do what was right and they followed a fool on his errand. Now they are simply getting their just desserts. Don't get me wrong. There are nimrods and screw-ups on both sides of the aisle and they all share a certain amount of blame for the mess we are in. But if the award for screwing the country the most has to be handed out, it's gonna go to the Republicans and the current administration.
Let's hope we take back at least one chamber of Congress and stop the insanity for a little while.
Be nice.
Peace
