On Sunday, we drove throught the cold and wind and snow back home from Knoxville. Kate was driving her new Ford Explorer, which was a gift from her grandparents in Knoxville. Kate had purchased a Georgia license plate with a Georgia Bulldog head adorned on the plate. Unfortunately, Kate left the plate behind and we drove up to Knoxville.
When we got there, Cindy's dad had removed the old Tennessee license and we had to affix a piece of cardboard with notice of "tag applied for" so she could drive the car home. Interestingly, he had refrained from removing the two Bush/Cheney stickers on the front and back. He did let Kate know that she could remove the stickers with a hairdryer.
At any rate, we left and Kate seemed to be coming down with the flu. This impression grew stronger as the week has progressed. She drove for some foreclosure sales in Forsyth and LaGrange; however, she has been staying at home ever since. Sleeping most of the time. She doesn't feel very good. She hasn't been back in to the office to work for me during the week.
However, she felt up to taking a hairdryer out in to the snow and wind in order to remove those two Bush/Cheney stickers off the car. She also felt up to placing an Obama 08 sticker on the window. And finally, she felt up to placing a Presbyterian College Alumni sticker on the rear window.
It reminded me of a story my father in law told me about my sister in law, who is suffering from the the flu herself. He called her last week and found that she was driving to work in the morning, drying her hair by rolling down her window and hanging her head out the window. Which might account for her present state of health.
Playing around in the snow and wind with the flu in order to show political allegiances is a little suspect. However, I can't blame her for wanting to place the PC sticker on the window. There were a lot of blood, sweat and tears that went into that show of allegiance.
