Burnt Orange Report

On The Proper Use of Sidewalks

By Jim Dallas

One of the occupational hazards of canvassing is the temptation to do silly things, like jump off of a small (3 or 4 foot) wall and on to a sidewalk below. I tried doing this Saturday night, and ended up losing balance, bouncing and spinning off the sidewalk, and into the road. With a scraped palm and a bruised shin. But I'll probably live.

At least I didn't rip a big hole in my pants doing a cartwheel, unlike a certain co-blogger...

Remember, Election Day is supposed to be cheery. Be careful. You don't want to be waiting in line at the Emergency Room when you could be waiting in line at a polling place.

Oh yeah, and I second everything Byron said about New Mexico.
