Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There Seems to have been some disturbance here.

Pardon me, sir, did you see What happened?

Yeah, I did.

Some guy going by the name Omaha Steve parked his car in the lot out front. He saw the car next to his was "feeling the Bern". He decided to take a photo. Somebody stopped to see what he was taking a picture of. That person starts yelling about Bernie and gave OS a high five.

OS went in the store and the car was gone when he got back. I think it would have been a fun meeting with the owner of the other car.



My car is on the left. Two turn off Fox news, small no hobby lobby upper right, and Bernie sticker. Car on the Right has the magnet.

and of course my Bernie magnet is on the back of the car. We passed a young man driving (3 lane parkway) and he had a Bernie sticker on the back of his car, so I beeped. About 2 miles later the kid catches up with us (yes, I have a lead foot) starts beeping his horn and giving us the thumbs up.

This has happened to me before but never with Mr. Dorky in the car, so it was a real treat for me to see his reaction, and he turned to me and said “Wow, you are right! That magnet IS magic!”.

I am seeing Bernie stickers/magnets on cars more and more. I have seen ZERO Clinton stickers though. I did, however see one tRump bumper sticker a couple of days ago on a junker that was weaving in and out of traffic, and eventually had an accident. Interesting.

and as I was leaving I saw another car with a Bernie bumper sticker. I jumped out of my car
ran back inside and demanded to know who owned that car. I ended up talking to the nice couple
who used to live in Vermont and met Bernie! They said he is the nicest guy. They are in California
now.
