My husband and I are looking into purchasing a car - that is, if my husband's startup gets more funding and several other things fall into place. We have two vehicles right now, but one of them is a big truck (needed for farm work) and next year both of us will be commuting daily. So for the environment, and for long-term gas savings, it would be prudent to purchase a fuel-efficient vehicle.

We drove to a local town to the Ford dealer where I purchased my truck, just to peek around, not to purchase. We wanted to go back to the same place due to the great deal and ease of which we purchased the truck, and the continued excellent service we have received. We live about a 30 min drive from the dealer, and more than once they have gladly driven me home with my two young kids when the truck has needed routine service that would take a day or several hours. And yes, they even drove back to my house to pick me up when it was ready. I found it hard to believe that a car dealer would drive me so far to make it convenient for me to have my truck serviced there, but they have always assured me it was no problem.

Anyone who lives around Austin, TX knows our city has what seems like 5-10 billboards per mile. Or more. But what I have suddenly noticed this week is how many of them are empty or are advertising the billboard company itself. I'd say at least 50% are suddenly empty this week.

Lucky for me, I have not been the recipient of many of the negative emails that have been circulating about Obama. However, I couldn't sleep this morning, headed to the computer, and received an email that took "racial" quotes from Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope out of context, and began with concern,

This man might just be our president!!!

I pray that he is!!! And of course as gullible as I can be, I initially had hopes this would be a pro-Obama email. Ah, well...

I was delighted to see the long list of cc's so that my reply would reach as many Americans as possible.

I'll start by saying that I am and was raised a liberal by my parents, and I knowingly married the love of my life who happens to be a die-hard republican.

My husband's family is lower middle class. He grew up very poor, living off food stamps and welfare, eating from giant bricks of government-handed out american cheese. Both of his parents have significant health care issues, and the only way they have health insurance is through an employer-sponsored plan. His mom has been declined health insurance several times due to her preexisting conditions.

And yet they are still hardcore republicans.

My husband was the first in his family to go to college, and now is the CEO/founder of his own successful startup.
