the debate in real time.

The sky is stunning. The clouds are bright-pink, there are early stars.

I'm in front of my tv, listening to the debate, watching McCain smile superciliously, wondering if Obama's hair was gray two months ago. I can't remember. I want them to stop laughing at each other for effect and stop making reference to synecdochic "Joes". It's so annoying. Joe-the-Plummer, Joe Six-Pack. Who are these people? I don't even have a single friend named Joe. That doesn't mean anything to me.

I went outside and tried to see the horizon, but the trees blocked most of it, but it was still beautiful.

Today I walked through the farmer's market and felt like I'd just moved to town. Literally, like I hadn't lived here a day. I don't know why I felt that way. It wasn't bad, just a feeling.

I just made a fake choking noise when McCain told us Palin was a role model for women. And I actually kind of strained my throat in the process. Ouch. And then I started laughing when he mixed up "breath of fresh air" and made it sound like "breast of..." We need that breast in the white house? Snicker.

Well, I have to be going. It's been fun.
