Day 3 Canvasing in New Hampshire.

It looks like a beautiful day out this morning. I'm going to go for a little drive into the country this morning, as the headquarters won't be opening until later, then possibly stop at Dunkin' Donuts to get some more coffee and donuts.

Sounds like great fun. I look forward to walking another 2 EDs this afternoon and making 100 or so more phone calls. We got to get out the message!

I will probably stay here until Tuesday, then head back sometime in the afternoon to spend the evening at my parents house for the New Years Eve fondue feast that will be delayed one day for me to get home.

Need a few reasons to come to New Hampshire:

• Cheap Whiskey, Liquor, and Other Beverages at Tax Free and State Owned Massive Liquor Stores
• Cheap and Legal Fireworks
• Cheap $2.92 a gallon gas

I'm starting to like this state a lot. It's so beautiful up in Concord, although there is relatively little good farmland up here between the rather mountainousness country that I am in.

I need to get out and do some photographs of Main Street and the Capitol. Maybe on Monday or Tuesday mornings if it's not too cloudy.

Walked About 2 Districts Today.

We didn't get started until around 12 Noon because we had to move a copier first, but once we got started I walked an ED plus several other parts of EDs. It was nice weather out there today for canvasing.

I can't necessarily say the same for Monday or Tuesday. At any rate, I will be knocking doors again on Monday and for a while on Tuesday until I head home, assuming the roads are clear on Tuesday. If the weather is too bad on Tuesday, I will have to stay another night and head back on Wednesday and come in late for work.

It's been great fun, and I need to get back to phone banking.

What a Beautiful Morning Out There.

If you are bundled up in a Cahart sitting in the cab of your pickup with the heat on full blast, or looking out the window of the 18th floor of the Alfred E. Smith Building.

Honestly, today's the kind of day I'd rather be going somewhere like Rochester or Syracuse on the beautiful Thruway or even Route 20, and seeing the landscape, while not interacting with it in the cold. It's so clear out and the Heldeberg Mountains like so beautiful and desirable to be out and on top of.

Busy Day At Work Today.

That's why there was no posts on Cowboy until just now. Still, it's nice to be a laundrymat just doing a little bit of blogging and de-stressing from the short week that proved to go by too quickly and be too crazy.

Next week is the first week of session. This should prove to be quite interesting, especially with the Governor's State of the State Address on Wednesday. Everybody will be watching carefully to see what the Governor will say, and how he will work to get on the right foot with New Yorkers as Year 2 gets underway.

Good Evening.

While I was originally planning on going out to New Hampshire my plans changed with the results of last night's Iowa caucus. I had hoped that John Edwards would have been able to pull it off, but unfortunately things didn't go as well as one would have hoped.

Honestly though, money is a bit tight, and it's a long trip just to go out on Saturday to canvas then come back Sunday. I don't know how much off a difference I can make at this point—it's pretty clear with Obama's stunning win last night, that New Hampshire will be a competition largely between Clinton and Obama.

So my plans for the weekend are as such. Tonight it's the laundrymat where I currently am. Tommorow, it's first to Indian Ladder Farms to pick up some groceries, then some skiing in the hill towns—maybe Thatcher Park or elsewheres depending on my mood.

Then I'm going to my parents on Sunday for my mom's birthday.
