Periodically I do a 6-7 mile loop walking thru Woodbury.\u00a0 Just about half that distance is on Main St. (Route 6), but most is off the main drag. {Sidebar 1:\u00a0 it is a stretch to consider any road in Woodbury as truly a\u00a0main drag<\/em>}. And on my walks I encounter any number of signs stuck in the ground fronting homes, churches (we have 4 in Woodbury!) & places of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many signs give thanks to the essential workers<\/em>\u2026 giving well-deserved thumbs up to everyone in the chain of keeping our lives together. And then there are many signs with this signature: \u201cHate Has No Home Here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also in a Presidential election cycle, so there are lawn signs supporting specific Presidential candidates, and other aspirants in this election year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My observations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Only a few folks put out lawn signs. Although there are more \u201cThank you\u201d & \u201cHate Has No Home Here\u201d signs out there than signs of political endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Several examples where signs in a location only offer\u00a0down ticket<\/em>\u00a0candidates, and there is no association with the Presidential head liner.\u00a0 Why is that? {Sidebar 2: I can remember the day when signs would not only note the candidate\u2019s name, but also his\/her party affiliation. I rarely see that today.}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. There were a few locations where there were signs for both<\/strong> \u201cHate Has No Home Here\u201d, and<\/em> a sign for support for a specific Presidential  candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question:\u00a0 On the locations that had both\u00a0Hate Has No Home Here<\/em>\u00a0and a sign offering support for a Presidential candidate \u2013 who would you guess that candidate to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
