So I go out to lunch with my friend/cousin Chris. He and I have known each other since birth; our families were way close growing up due to our mothers being best friends. Our first stop was the Obama office in Carmel for new yard signs because his keeps being stolen. Then he says something along the lines of "No one's stealing the Mitch Daniels sign." For real--here I was going on about the people down the street totally throwing my mind into a tailspin, and I find out that someone I like and respect has the same two signs.
I don't think his family forced the two signs to touch, though.
Scary aside to the office stop: The woman we got the signs from told us, after Chris explained why he was coming in for more, that all the Obama signs in her neighborhood had been stolen at one point--and hate mail was ever-so-thoughtfully tucked into all their mailboxes. So you can't wonder or hope that it was an Obama supporter who didn't know where else to go for signs. Nope, just some good old-fashioned racism. It is 2008, and not 1808, right? Just checking.
