Sensory Overload

I spent the weekend in a relative battleground state, Tennessee. I say relative, because it looks more and more like Bush will win it going away, but still, it's no Texas. The constant influx of campaign information, primarily in the form of bumper stickers and lawn signs, made it virtually impossible for me to blog (that, and very little internet access). It also reminded me that there are benefits to living in an uncontested state. Since I spent most of my time in one of the richest counties in the country, Bush signs were everywhere. It was disheartening.
