You decide. I'll support the Democratic nominee.

All of you folks in the remaining 48 states. You decide. Go vote in your primaries and caucuses. I'll watch from over here. I'll caucus with my one vote on March 1 in St. Paul, MN. One vote.

Everyone should cast their one vote. In the end, we'll have a Democratic nominee for President. Then, the real battle starts. And it's going to be a tough, merciless battle. We might win. We could lose. A lot depends on November.

So, vote for the candidate you prefer. I'll watch, right up to the national convention. In the meantime, I'll be here in St. Paul, beginning what I hope is a GOTV effort that will help the Democratic nominee win. I'm hopeful, but far from confident.

I hope it works. I hope we win. I'll do what I can.

If we wait, it may be too late. We need to heal wounds and work it all out. I'm out of the primary battle, as of today. Others will have to decide. I'll be over here, waiting to support whoever gets the nomination. I'm done with bickering and name-calling. I'm out.

The General Election campaign starts now for me.

I know you are , but some arent maybe.

This is not a site where you have to vote for Bernie, it is just a good way to help registrations.

Fortunately, here in Minnesota, people can also register at the polls on election day. We're smart that way here.

And not just the lesser of two evils.

If that's the case I will work my ass of for that candidate.

Otherwise, meh. They won't need me.

Everybody can recognize the lesser of two evils. Right?

Keeping Republicans from taking over. That's what. It should be an inspiration for us all. If we don't win, we freaking lose.

Let's win!

It's either cyclical or to do with the weather but some years we get a lot and this was one of them..

Astoundingly though inside of a few weeks the squirrels, being the industrious little creatures they are, had those nuts all gone, you couldn't find one anywhere.

I'm in favor of squirrels, it's easy to turn an ankle on acorns and it's like walking on ball bearings on a hard surface.

Maples are popular. Nut trees, not so much. Our squirrels still seem to thrive though. Maybe it's the hundreds of pounds of peanuts we throw out during the year.
