I needed to post this, to explain why I'm going to Napavine tomorrow morning, to vote for Cheryl Crist, who is challenging sitting incumbent Brian Baird for the party nomination to run for the 3rd Congressional District seat in the U.S. Congress. It is not an easy explanation for me to make. ![]()

http://www.theolympian.com/570/story/398892.html I'm going to get on my soapbox here. I'm tired of the graffiti. I'm tired of our town being plastered with it. Free walls are just fine and dandy, in fact some are really beautiful. It's the garbage on my neighborhood stop signs, street signs, power utility boxes, local mini-mart, bus stops, and now this crap. Whip out a can of $2.50 Krylon and cause a $1000 worth of damage. No intellectual discussion here, no sir-ree. Just a rant.
