Greetings from Virginia
«

Hello all. I've been following the main Mudflats page and am just getting into the forum.
I never imagined I'd end up living in the heart of the old Confederacy, but I've knocked around in north, south, midwest, with some years in California. Now I'm hoping for a historic event as the capital of that old confederacy here in Virginia gets ready to vote for an African-American and against a secessionist sympathizer. My own political roots go back to the DFL in Minnesota and through antiwar activities in New York in the 60's.
I wrote a rhyme (or doggerel) "The Nomination of Sarah P." which is updated on the humor forum. I was visiting my grandchildren the weekend that McCain announced the choice of Palin. I'd been reading the 2 and 4 year old some rhymes, and then on the 3 hour drive home, rhyme, Palin, and the Yukon poet R.W. Service all came together and I started writing it on the drive.
Lots of thanks to those who are organizing this wonderful site.
Cheers,
Gary aka khaki salmon palin
