I really hate the loading foreman in Longview. He thinks he's got it all figured out and treats me like I'm some kind of second class citizen. I can never get a word in edgewise or however it goes. So it was nice to hit the road and get across the bridge into Ranier and downshift into St. Helens, Oregon. After a nice Fourth, the fireworks went off again as I was havin' a cup o' coffee at the Chevron on highway 30. One of the fellers there was tellin' me that the Democrats were backin' a Republican. I just imagined my old Granny rollin' in her grave. She was a lifelong Democrat who always swore she'd "never vote fer a Republicin!" She almost voted for general Ike way back when but even then she didn't do it. She always hated wolves in sheeps clothin' which sounds like what may be going on here, I dunno. Sounds like some of yer Democrats here might be Republicans in Democrate clothes. Some lady started talking about someone down the road in Scapoose who is just that but I had to hit the road so I didn't hear the end of her story. I'll be sure to keep my eye on all this business as I pass through town each week. Anyhow, take care of things here in this nice little town y'all got, ya hear? Tom
