Yesterday I received a package from my dear friend Miss Claire T including not only a great birthday present but some Obama fun stuff :-) I put the pin on my messenger bag (it looks a little like this one but I'm too lazy to take a picture of mine) and headed off to work.At the end of the day I jumped on a train to go 1 station home (loving my commute by the way!). Just as the train was slowing down to come into V-town the conductor (who happened to be black) came by.
He saw me and asked me in French for my ticket, then he paused and asked me in English, ticket please. I half smiled and gave him my commuter pass. He continued in English, thank you have a nice trip with a big smile.
As I was getting off the train he opened the door for me and wished me a nice day.
I wondered who put happy juice in this guy's coffee until I realized that he must have seen my pin :-) Most people don't peg me for American these days, especially not going between two tiny towns in the-middle-of-nowhere-Normandy!
I still haven't got my absentee ballot, come on WA put the pedal to the metal! Me wants to vote!!

Glad to know it's not just me wondering where my absentee ballot is!
AZ is slacking on the sending of the ballots too... feel your pain!
i was gone all last week so i don't know when it arrived exactly, but i got my WA ballot so you should be getting yours too, anyday now.
while on vacation in Italy i saw two cars with Obama '08 bumperstickers (a French car (13) and a Suisse car). cracked me up.
