Some guy near here has a Trump sign in his yard. [View all]

Not one of those cardboard yard signs, but a wooden billboard that's about 5X7 feet. It's double sided and set up so drivers going in either direction can see it. Of course it's right out by the road so I see it a long way off down the rural road I take to my exe's house. The upscale house sits back quite a way from the road and I always wondered why an apparently successful person would be so taken in by the lies aimed at the knuckle dragging redneck drunk at the end of the bar.

I had to take my ex-wife to the doctor Wednesday so I once again drove past, noticing from a long way back that it was still there (of course) on the left side as I headed West. I had my window down a bit so I could sneak a smoke before I got to her house and for the first time saw the guy walking back up the driveway from his mail box. He had his head down shuffling through the mail when I gave him a couple friendly toots of the horn. As he turned about to wave, I had my hand thrust through the open window giving him the finger.

I instantly felt much better about spending the afternoon at the doctor's office with my ex-wife.
