Repuke House candidate approached me

And my friends at the Italian Festival in Wilmington this evening. There were 8 of us sitting there at a picnic table enjoying our food when Lee Murphy approached us. He did shake two people's hands before we realized who he was, then we noted that we were a "table full of proud Democrats." He said "you should try the other side." I said "Not gonna happen" and he moved on. Then we returned to enjoying our spaghetti.

On a side note, 2 dipsticks wearing "Infowars" t-shirts walked by shortly after. I guess in any crowd you would be able to find a few (hopefully a minority) idiots and deplorables.

But it's not what it once was....food not made on site anymore, it's catered by (decent) local restaurants. Prices up. But I used to go almost every night of the week, now it's a one-and-done. Still fun to go and support the school/church and people-watch. Now the Greek Festival the week before---still as great as ever and worth multiple visits!

I would have told him I'd rather chew off my own arms and legs than vote for Nazi traitor trash.
