politics and freezers

After the 3rd Obama-McCain debate which showed Obama in a slightly better light than McCain, and after the Phillies won the game that gets them in the world series, it's back to politics as appliances.

Boxy freezers make me think of Nixon and Krushchev debating over cold war races in home appliances. So passe. I'm gonna bet that the old freezer we had to let go because the inside lid insulation was broken away from the lid past the duct tape patch it up quotient, was entirely built in the US of America by union labor. I'm gonna bet that the new Frigidaire (on cart) was mostly fabricated in China.

But, hey, we're doing stuff for China. And who listens to whose music? Pic at 10 a.m. today, their permission.

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.
