We've had Obama signs in our windows for the better part of 3 months. We've got stickers on our cars, tee-shirts, shirts for the kids...you name it. Jim and I have really gotten into this election and spend many nights watching Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow and other miscellaneous shows on the cable news networks.
On our walks we've ONLY seen McCain signs in people's yards. Ugh. Well, a few weeks ago we finally saw a new OBAMA sign. Jim commented to the guy in the driveway. This started an hour long conversation about politics, our kids, etc. Roo is right inbetween their daughters, they attend Roo's old school, we have similar opinions other things as well. All in all, decent people.
That night we had a knock on the door at 9! :-( I hate it when people bust up there after dark. Anyway, when I opened the door, it was an Obama/Biden yard sign! YAY! We put it up right away.
Over the first week or so, we noticed it had fallen down a couple of times. No big deal. After about the third time, we realized someone was knocking it down! Days and days go by and there's no action on the sign, suddenly it's knocked down and set back up (by us) several times in a day.
J and I had been discussing all sorts of methods to keep the sign erect. The final straw was over this weekend. In one day our sign was knocked down 3 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That night, we sat watch on our porch, in the dark, to see if someone would reappear. No such luck. I was loaded for bear and ready to claw someone's eyes out.
Tonight, after seeing the sign knocked down one final time J headed to Lowes. He bought a real estate sign. We got to work reconstructing our sign. It took all of Jim's body weight AND a rubber mallet to get the sign into the ground.
Ha! Jackass! I'd like to see someone come and try to knock it down.
I'm watching you!
