Hanh in there. Keep a stiff upper lip.
Things were really starting to slow down here on the ol FR ranch over the past couple of years until Harriet and the Special CA election happened! Then BANG!!! FReepers suddenly came to life and like my old Pennsylvannia Dutch grandma used to say... "They suddenly got all het up!"
One of the biggest differences I've noticed between Dems and Repubs is that, Repubs think an election actually resolves issues and go right back to sleep as soon as the polls close. Dems never sleep.
I thought you might have noticed that too, having finally changed alliances not too long ago.
