Reading that the Idaho Statesman endorsed Obama, I had to call my surrogate mom, Esther, who is in a rest home in Orofino. Esther, former mayor of Orofino (mother of my best buddy Dick, now gone 10 years), the most energetic and loud Democrat in northern Idaho, is now legally blind, she tells me, but her energy on the phone was good. She's quite a lady. She's a lady even though she tells jokes like "she was so fat if she had a broomstick up her ass, she could sweep both sides of the street." There's logging camp roots for you.
