Downtown Dyersburg was bustling with pre-election activity today. I was headed into the DCDP headquarters for an event when I passed this YUGE presidential looking limo, complete with flags, parked on the side of road in South Dyersburg. I had heard from my brother that the Republicans were sending a bus down to South Mill for a campaign event so I figured they were the "escort" car. I went on down to hear the delightful and intelligent Marquita Bradshaw tell us who she is and what she stands for as a candidate for US Senate. The only black woman running I believe. She is from Memphis and is wrapping up a complete 95 county tour of the state. She had a crew complete with videographer ( her son ) and assorted caravan. They arrived promptly at 11 and met with a socially distanced and masked up crowd of supporters. I saw lots of old friends and made a new one.
On my way out I saw a lot of well heeled Trumpsters hoofing it between their headquarters and the bus, just a two block walk. I wonder where all these folks parked???? There definitely ain't much space on the square. And, there weren't many masks from what I could see. Whatever. I am cautiously optimistic that there is a light at the end of this tunnel of division and hatred. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Y'all be well and happy. Above all, keep the faith ^j^
