Virginia Cody for Governor!

PRO-DRILLERS AND ANTI-DRILLERS UNITE: VIRGINIA CODY is the only Pa. gubernatorial candidate to CLEARLY OPPOSE subsurface TRESPASS UPON, AND THEFT FROM, PROPERTY that an owner of has chosen not to provide too-cheap (or in the case of when it's Cabot doing the extraction, too-proven-to-be-ruining-of-groundwater) energy from.

On-topic-for-this-blog content: I'm happy to report that this 180-house paper route in Clarks Summit is among the places that I've been distributing the Virginia Cody for Governor brochure. I slipped one under the doormat of 150 of the houses last Sunday, 10/24, and I'm ready to do the other 30 tomorrow, 10/31.

Just like with the annual Xmas cards, the extra few seconds of time consumption per house makes it a tall order to do such an extra leafletting to all 180 houses in one Sunday without finishing excessively late, hence my saving of the last 30 for this weekend.

I also don't know whether the Times would take kindly to one of its paper boys inserting propaganda (as opposed to Xmas cards, which the Times infamously - see "War of the Worlds and my last Sunday of the Oughts" - knows that I, like I think most carriers, do) into the sleeves with the papers. So, sticking the Virginia Cody for Governor brochures under the doormats and such, separate from the papers, is my way of being on the safe side about that.

And bill-ignorers

The Saturday 10/9 issue of the Scranton Times-Tribune has a full-page, International Carrier Day salute to all of us Times-Tribune/Sunday Times carriers, listing all of our names (apparently 365 of us?) below the compliment, "Through rain, snow, sleet and cold, your carrier endures it all to deliver the news of the world to your doorstep."

Well how about bill-ignorers? Although I thank the Times for the compliment about the "rain, snow, sleet and cold", I don't mind those things one bit! It is the bill-ignorers, rather, that I must "endure".

Well, that and the editor's slandering of two of my "frac" spellings to "frack", in my Letter to the Editor in August. The correct spelling, which the Susquehanna County Transcript got my minor point about but the Times didn't, is "frac".
