I'm at the Western Mass Campaign HQ

There is hope! It's crazy busy here and I just finished canvassing a ward. Many many Bernie supporters in that district.

Don't give up! We are fighting to the very end here.

I went to high school, Northfield School in East Northfield. They merged into Northfield-Mount Hermon, but I was in the last all female graduating class.

I remember going out to parties my freshman year and walking down from the dorms. We never wore coats out to parties even in the winter, and I remember feeling all the moisture in my nostrils freeze up. It was pretty amazing!

My first year there was a disaster. I fell and broke my foot, had to crutch all over campus in the dead of winter. I got in trouble for skipping music class, had nothing against it, but just couldn't crutch that far. And we were forced to take swimming, so was often rushing to the next class with wet hair. I was in and out of the infirmary, ended up getting my tonsils out as soon as school was over. And now I'm allergic to penicillin. Seems they gave me so much that I had a reaction. Fun times! But most of the teachers were great and there was a lot of unity, most of us felt like we were in this together...

I did some north shore stuff recently and I'm doing Falmouth election day GOTV canvassing. Nice work! I think the 413 is going for Bernie all the way!

Yard sign tally I've witnessed is five Bernies and one (God help us) Cruz. Bernie is winning in this conservative enclave.

DU members who support Bernie go door-to-door, or make phone calls trying to get out the vote, in order to help Bernie win.

While DU members who support Hillary just vote, so they can hurry back to the DU to make more snarky comments about Bernie and his supporters.

The first behavior is very rewarding and effective.
The second one, not so much.

Hiyo, Shadowfax! AWAY!

I spent some of my formative years in southern Berkshire County, not far from Great Barrington. Both my younger brothers still live there. The youngest one is 60. Yes, I am a card-carrying curmudgeon. Now get off my lawn!
