Oh Those Republican Men!!!!!

I have played Cashier at the WV State Fair for the past 3 years and every year the Democrats and the Republicans have a booth in the West Virginia building. Last year, the staff from the Manchin and Jenkins were at the fair. I am used to taking the train to Washington DC to talk to them so this was really convenient

This year I have spent more time talking to the GOP versus the Democrats. It is actually more interesting to talk about different prospective to find common ground versus agreeing with someone and keeping silent if you don't.

Earlier this week, I was talking to a gentleman who is running for State Senator. He was joking about the cardboard image of Trump not holding a cellphone for Twitter. I mentioned to him that Trump was a Gemini and Geminis are notorious for politically incorrect communication. They blurt out what they think . Sometimes they offend folks but quite often they say something the Folks wished they had the nerve to say.

Hmmmmm……. This was a prospective about Trump that he never thought about. It will help him explain Trump to his constitutes. He asked if I wanted my picture next to Trump and I explained that as a State Fair Employee that I am required to be nonpolitical.

It has been an interesting week with interesting conversations. Republican men are definitely more interesting to talk to than Democrat women. I may actually be dating one next week.

Today, I was once again talking to the Republican men including one who is running for a State Office. Once again I was asked if I wanted my photo next to Trump. I told them, I am at work and can't get political. Perhaps I could cover the Fair Logo on my shirt. The gentleman running for a state office loaned me his John Deere Hat to cover the logo. I realized that my work tag was showing but it was the last day of the fair. The worse scenerio. They could fire me but they didn't. When I was telling them the story, they had a good laugh.

You are one of the folks who turn work into fun! BTW, do you still do that thing where you go out hunting treasures?

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

It was fun working at the State Fair because I had a great group of women to work with but today I am exhausted. I could not keep up with that pace long term. I thought it was interesting how I spent more time talking to the Republicans versus the Democrats. My GPS locator quit working a few years ago and I haven't been Geocaching since. I might take it up again after the doctor fixes my hip. I am due for surgery next month. The joy of getting older is not for wusses.

Mrs. Joe, you just reminded me of how I used to take my dates Geocaching. I haven't geocached in a few year nor have I dated. Geocaching always makes for interesting dates because it's economical and there is time for interesting conversation. Now by some great miracle, I have a date with a Republican. I decided to purchase a new GPS device. If the Republican doesn't show up for the date, I can still go. The heck with the problematic hip. I walked all over the fair with a cane.

You do understand, of course that "spiritual" doesn't just refer to Christianity?........Because there are a lot of Spiritual men on the Left.....How many Republican men practice Yoga, Buddhism, Transcendental Meditation,Wiccan, Satanism, Islam, Native American Spirituality, Shinto......etc.....?

For future reference - the word you want to use is perspective.
