Tuned Out

As we rapidly head toward election day (although with voting by mail-in ballot, election day can be whenever you want), I realize as I continue to erase all the robo-calls ("This is the Sierra Club reminding you..."  "XXXX is a spending liberal."  "YYYY doesn't care about women...") and try to change TV channels to avoid the yelling and screaming, that the girls really couldn't care.  Certainly elections affect their lives.  Whether it's Seattle's mayor who seems determined to make our traffic congestion even worse, thus delaying their rides to parks, or an increase in taxes which may impact the number of treats they get (and there was the state legislator last year who wanted to increase taxes on pet food to pay for????), but through all the yelling and ridiculousness, the girls have remained calm.

And I am determined to adopt their attitude: "what election?"

Murphy's Day.
