On the Road to Crawford, Texas
I spent a most enjoyable hour or so with the good people of Crawford, Texas last Tuesday during a trip to Texas. The nearness of the election led me to drive 100 miles from Austin. I wandered the three-block downtown, snapping photos and chatting with the friendly manager of The Red Bull, the gift shop where I stocked up on Bush memorabilia. The Crawford cookbook, complete with recipes from First Lady Laura Bush, was a big hit, along with the armadillo refrigerator magnets. After careful consideration, I passed on the Jenna Bush-Henry Hager wedding mousepads. At $10, they were a little rich for my tastes.
The photo below shows, definitively, that I was there, very close to a reasonable likeness of a famous local resident soon to have more time for his ranch.

My timing was perfect, on the eve of Tuesday's historical shift. The center of presidential kitsch will soon shift to either Arizona/Alaska or Hawaii/Chicago/Indonesia/Kenya, but whatever the outcome, my sense is that Crawford will take the vote in stride.
