Today, I met Lana Moresky (my #1 Democratic friend and Convention traveling partner, roommate and great pal) at a local Starbucks to coordinate all of our Convo invitations (see previous blog).
It was a gorgeous summer day and we wanted to be outside. Unfortunately, this particular Starbucks did not have outside tables and chairs and inside the shop was too cold for us. So we decided to just sit in Lana's car with the windows open. About an hour or so later, as we were saying our "good byes", Lana's car didn't start. Battery DEAD. I guess that happens when you leave the ignition on without the engine running. Not having her own jumper cables, I went into Starbucks and asked if anyone had a pair of such cables. And as luck would have it, Rick, a great guy wearing his Ohio State cap (see photo), volunteered to help.(**check out the book Rick is holding). Rick's friend Ruth-from-Ravenna (Ohio) was parked right next to Lana. So Rick linked his cables from Lana's battery to Ruth's battery and voila! Engine re-started!
In the meantime, of course, we started talking about the convention and Obama. Ruth told us that she recently volunteered her barn to be part of the new "Barns for Obama" program. (check it out: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/ohbarns.)
Who knew there was a Democrat in Ravenna, OH? Ruth said she might be the "only one"! But, I bet after people in Ravenna, OH see Ruth's barn, they might start thinking that Obama might be good idea for OHIO and the USA, too!
As you can tell, Convo stuff is starting to heat up!!
