Boots on the Ground

These boots have hit the ground runnin' already this morning. Today is the day of a primary special election, to select the Democratic and Resnubrikan candidate for a local county commissioner seat. Very sadly, a dear friend who was in that position died on February 1, and now they have to have an election in our district to fill the position. She can never be replaced, but hopefully, her husband on whose campaign I have been working so hard will win the primary. He will see through the work she promised us would be done this term. (The R-people have no chance to win the election; they're outnumbered about ten to one, so the D who wins the primary will will then general election which will be held in four weeks.)

I really debated what boots to wear. I'll be on my feet most of the day while electioneering and escorting seniors to the polls. So, these are they! Chippewa Engineer Boots, all cleaned up. (They had encountered some mud a few weeks ago, oops.) I have on two pairs of socks for add to the comfort these boots already provide. Jeans over, though. While I am a proud Bootman, I don't stick 'em in people's faces. Wish us luck!
