Life of Wry

We (twelve of us from Davis joined dozens more from all over) canvassed today in support of Biden/Harris and Senator Jacky Rosen in Reno (Sparks, actually). We were data gathering for the campaign, essentially, helping them prepare for a massive get out the vote effort as the election nears. We also did some good pursuasion canvassing. It was a productive day.

My blog title? Those were the words of an old geezer with a days-old grey beard growth and barefoot who wasn’t having my pitch for a Biden/Harris win in November. LOL. Here’s my note to the campaign (via the Mini-Van app which we canvassers use to identify which doors we’ll knock on.. maps and data prepared by the campaigns):

So many comebacks I didn’t come up with until later! And yeah, at the conclusion of his rant he said forcefully: GO AWAY!

Which I did.. (but inside I was SMH and half laughing at what just felt ridiculous).

I talked to another women — a registered voter who claims she does not vote! — who wasn’t sure who Biden was running against in November.

Good to get out of the Davis bubble once in a while.

Here’re some shots on the day….a lovely one at that!

The owner of this yard, with whom I’d had a very worthwhile conversation, chased me down moments after I’d left his house, to give me an ice cold bottle of water (he also offered me a coke). A very sweet gesture which I took him up on. Wish I’d gotten a pic of him.. he was missing most of his teeth, but had a warm smile and a funny dog. And a nice garden!

This was the morning’s training, which we skipped out on (bc we’re old hands at this stuff).

And here’s part of the Davis group:
