politics, money, and scarecrows

Maybe it's all scarecrows. But at market this morning I saw all the recent headlines up close. There are the Obama and McCain tables the day after Palin gets embroiled in the brother-in-law cop firing and McCain's rallies get nasty. There's the friendly scarecrow and pumpkin cookies at the bakery stand, signalling the fall season. And across Penn Square, despite the tailspin money markets, Lancaster's biggest building project keeps chugging along.
