The More I Hear the More I'm Impressed

So Pete Buttigieg, Democratic candidate for President has made the 65,000 threshold to be on the stage at the debates. You may have already read that if you were one of his donors as I was.

He was on MSNBC today and I just listened to the interview on uTube. 

He is really impressing me more each time I hear him answer.

Take a listen here and here.

I live in South Bend. Mayor Pete has positively changed our city for the better by refusing to let us be defined by our past and including our voices in our joint vision of the future. We had empty storefronts where signs were posted asking us to suggest what we would like to see. Citizen input, hand in hand with his government, has shaped our focus on utilizing our massive park system as a draw to the community. He made himself available regularly to talk and especially, to listen. He has vision, intelligence and guts.

He is an excellent mayor and, although I support his presidential bid, I am also very sad to see him leave South Bend, my hometown. But I think we have always known that Peter is too good to keep to ourselves...

This is an occasional posting to savor the moments from past travels.

Walking in Cotswolds in 2014.

Pubs for lunch were our routine.

I know you see Dan in the photo above, but can you see me?

Whirlwind visits

Granddaughter has been with us since Friday morning. 

At 20 months she knows where all the toys and books are kept.

She's learned how to open our door handles so closing off rooms to her doesn't work any more.

Thankfully she sleeps 10 hours at night and we almost do the same.  We do nap when she does, to gather our strength.

She's a doll.

Sorry no direct front views at her mom's request.

Update on Pete Buttigieg

In order for Mayor Pete to get on the stage at the Democratic debates he needs 65,000 donors. 

I really think he needs to be heard on the national stage.  

Would you consider donating $3 to his Exploratory Committee so he will get there?  His last tweet said he was 85% there.  I just donated $3!

It's early in the campaign I know, but such a well reasoned voice needs to be heard by more people.
