It's All Good Now!

New RAV is all good. I had a few moments of fighting with the cruise control on Friday heading to Portland but I've worked it out. And the unnerving propensity for it to turn itself off at every stop light has been solved. If I don't press so hard on the brake pedal it stays running. Packing it was a challenge and I admit that it was not packed the same way coming home on Sunday but it all fit so who cares? The show was what I had anticipated for a new show - lightly attended but I did not lose money, even with the overnight stay and dinner out, which was fun. Connie and I were in the same hotel as Susan and Terry from Forever Clean so we did dinner at a Mexican restaurant Susan knew of. Good food and a smaller size Margarita were just the ticket. Sunday's meeting and vote went as expected, so no more UMC after this year. Leaves me with fewer shows: KVAA, Brunswick, and whatever SSMC shows I can get into. I will not be doing their Brunswick show again - not worth it and too early in the season. Perhaps the Scarborough show? As director, Linda might be inclined to give me a spot. I might reconsider on Belfast but likely not. We'll see. No rush to create anything this week but I'd like to get at least a start on another tree skirt. I have 3 weeks after the Augusta show to fill in whatever I need. It will be a busy time and I have committed to making treats and the wreath for the Sidney Vet's Day celebration. Election in one week and it's right down to the wire. Crazy shit coming from the right - misogynistic, racist and just plan hateful. A "comic" who insulted just about everyone, a rich supporter (Elon) who slurred Harris with the "C" word, and so much more, in addition to the ever-present lies. And his crowds just eat it up. Fingers crossed it goes the sane way and we can get back to peace and quiet, if there could be those 2 things in the post-Trumpian world.
