Stuck with a bag?

I realize I am a bit overdue for a post.   Been a bit chilly lately to be out on the deck sipping coffee and pounding the keyboard though.

Anyway ...

Was a time when insightful politics was never confused with inciting politics.

If you are not sure what that means,. well ... you simply haven't been reading the papers or following the news lately.  Sure, I am rambling a bit about politics on the big stage. But hey ... when all you can do about it is rant a bit, such ramblings are expected.

No need to worry about that on our local level is there. Not for a few months anyway. Certainly not the inciting stuff.  Also, probably not the insightful stuff.

I for one will temper my excitement over learning more about the insightful platforms of the candidates seeking to lead our town. I will nonetheless await with bated breath to listen to the thoughts on how to move forward, the information promised highlighting skills and experiences and the rationale and plan to unify all in the spirit of cooperation. 

Funny thing about thoughts, skills, experiences and plans.  Not every individual will agree with your individual thoughts, skills, experiences and plans being an actual plus.  Trust me, I am will acquainted with that aspect of life.

But rather than me addressing my personal perception of those things at the moment, I do plan on waiting to see what each candidate puts forth to further the announcements and statements made to date. After all it is early on as has been noted.  We all have a long road to travel over this election campaign. If some started to talk about such things now, what would be left for them over the next 5 months of so to discuss.

Being known for my patience, or lack thereof as some seem to think, I can wait a bit longer before the temptation to get "deep" overtakes me.  

Truth be told, temptation over such things is a waning feeling as of late. Absence may make the heart grow fonder for some things, but for some other matters it helps replace some feelings with others.  I find myself bemused over some things now rather than shall we say perplexed. What might have caused a less than pleasant epitaph in the past has actually be replaced with a hearty chuckle. 

That and the fact that there is a bit of a lull right now.  Someone will put their foot in it soon enough I think.  This many people on the path, statistically unavoidable to miss stepping into something.

Where we end up going at this point is really in the hands of others.  I am beginning to realize that it is going to be a real bumpy road no matter what, so I might as well kick back and enjoy the scenery and simply accept the bumps and jolts.  

Kind of like making lemonade.

Need to fill my cup a bit. So .... until next time.
