There should be a town ordinance on political signage requiring the removal of all political signs within a certain time period. I've seen this sign far too long, but it is also a statement about the kind of people that do this. I believe Hillary Clinton referred to them as "the deplorable" however I have my own choice of words that is less polite. We can thank Trump for bringing out the "worst of the worst" kind of people. I can't wait for these elections to be over and for Trump to lose and go away. He stated in an interview yesterday he will not run again in 2028. Harris is highly qualified for the job, has youth, energy and a legally trained background and extensive government experience. Democracy is on the line, vote row A all the way!

Our condo community in Chestertown (Green Mansions), was hammered by the tornado and sustained several million dollars worth of damage, never saw so many downed trees. Multiple insurance adjusters were out there; they had to kick it up to some kind of catastrophic loss adjuster. Our house was fine but without power for a while.. The road crews did a fabulous job clearing the roads in just a few days (I thought it would be weeks) and we got power back in three days (and Spectrum a couple of days after). My only beef is that I had to toss a freezer full of meat out because my power outage was just a couple hours short of the 72 hours minimum National Grid was requiring for reimbursement. Also really annoyed that Elise Stefanik was completely missing in action; she pulled a Ted Cruz and left town but had time to post regular political statements about everything but our natural disaster. This is not me being partisan, this is me thinking the one thing local politicians have to be around for are disasters- even if they are not particularly helpful, they could at least give out ice or something. Anyway, the rebuilding is still ongoing chez moi, but it definitely moved quickly.
