Catching the Bus

We lived far off the road on the farm near Harwood ND when our kids were small and rode the bus. When Kevin was born we got Skip. Skip was a little dog; A wirehaired rat terrier. He looked like a Russell Terrier. He was supposed to be Kevin's dog but I stole him. I guess as much as you can I loved that little dog. I cried when he died right after Kevin at 18 years graduated high school.

Lots of life happened during that time.

Skip chased cars, trucks, tractors and his favorite, the school bus. He would run that baby down and bark like a madman. The joke always was, what would he do with it if he caught it? The answer was the same as the Democrats face.

They chased the bus, they barked, the media cheered them on and now they have caught the bus. Like little Skipper Dog the real question is, what are you going to do with it. I don't think they know. They had no actual ideas during the election other than "We ain't Bush".

Unfortunately, the Republicans blew it; they shot themselves in the foot. Now they handed that gun to the Dems.

So, enjoy those new drapes Ms Pelosi. Maybe they will let you take them with you when you lose again.
I hope for all that is Holy that will be the case in two years or maybe four.

Grab that 20" truck tire and hang on with all your might.
