Today I committed to go canvassing again, and, again, hubby came with me. Last week we canvassed in our own neighborhood, which was stressful and only occasionally rewarding Today, we canvassed in Wesleyville, PA, a suburb to the east of Erie that clearly was its own little town before being overtaken and incorporated into the City of Erie. It’s downtown almost looks as though it’s the mid-20th Century preserved in amber. The photo above is an example. That’s not ironic retro; that’s a “dinor” that has never been renovated over the course of my lifetime. (I’m 59.) (By the way, “dinor” is the local spelling for an eating establishment that most other Americans would call a “diner.”)
This week’s experience was much more pleasant than last week’s. People were happy to see us! People were excited at the prospect of voting! We did not get the hairy eyeball! People complained about Trump and lamented the treatment of Christine Blasey Ford. There was no one who looked as though he would threaten us with guns. We’re quite tired from our excursion, but we felt it was effort well expended.
So, I’m going out there again tomorrow. I’m hoping I get an assignment like I got today—liberals happy with the prospect of sticking it to Trump in a painful and embarrassing place. And if we get that hoped-for tailwind, we’ll get a shiny newer, bluer Congressman in the bargain.
