The President and Pumpkins


It's been two months, so maybe time for another post.... Seems that fall is very much here in central Ohio. How do you know? Maybe something to do with this fairly sizable mural at the end of our street and the small matter of a presidential campaign. The president has been here a few times already this year and he'll be back again on Tuesday. In the last 70 years, whoever has won in Ohio has won the election, so some reason as to why either the president or vice president has made a visit on average every three weeks since they took office.


Oh and of course another reason you might have an idea fall is here... A whole load of pumpkins.


So, yeah the election. On this last Wednesday Ohio boys the National put their time and effort towards re-electing the president by spending time on campus getting voters registered. They the stuck around to play a show at the Newport, just across from campus. It was free, if you could just commit to volunteering some of your time for the campaign. Kristen did, but as I'm not a student I used my "having to work full time" to get out of it. Maybe not quite the attitude required to re-elect the president,  but I did promise I'll encourage all my buddies to get out and vote, maybe that'll do it.

Other election commentary comes from Snoop Dog who detailed just why he won't be voting for Mitt Romney here (Parental Advisory warning for language: Mum, this means you.). My personal fave is his dislike for Romney's (wife's) dancing horse.
