It is a rare Sunday morning in Old Saint Paul that you may find Jay, Carl, Fred & I standing in the +44ºF heat, enjoying our porcelain, not china, (but made in China) “Danger Bay Collectible Mugs” of organically & shade-grown, fair trade, French-roast coffee, helping our brains to fire on all remaining synapses.
For the second time in a mere five days, we are again going political on this generally non-political blog, and endorsing yet another deserving individual for political office, and this time committing heresy for this gaggle of Democrats—we are endorsing a Republican!
There was unanimous agreement and no discussion about this endorsement, because we have come to know this person over the past months as:
- Thoughtful—she reads this blog
- Honest—not afraid to express her point of view
- Possessed of needle-sharp humor
- Is involved with “Habitat for Humanity,” one of our favorite programs
- Past member of the school board
- And most importantly—a friend of the Codgers
So it is without hesitation that we heartily endorse our friend, Linda Davis, for re-election to the Ledyard, Connecticut Town Council!

I was hoping you meant Linda. She’s Aces!
Well fellas, what a great choice in your latest endorsement!
My name is Linda Davis and I approve this message.
Thank you. It means way more than any old newspaper endorsement!! I am hoping you’ll be stopping by for a visit on your upcoming voyage.
Way to go Codgers. I join in this endorsement. Linda Davis is one smart and thoughtful person, attributes that make for smart and thoughtful politicians.
Of course, her best attribute is her sense of humor.
She’s a politician we can laugh with, not just at.
Peep: Indeed she is!
Ann: We believe she IS a great choice.
Linda: You are most welcome! We WILL be stopping – it is in the Sparrow’s itinerary already and one of the photos you sent will soon have the Sparrow added to it.
Lenn: She is remarkable indeed!
Linda: A well-deserved endorsement! We four old Democrats are just independent-minded enough to recognize unique talent regardless of party affiliation. As the kids say: “YOU ROCK!“
Linda, needs to place this endorsement on her Campaign Website…
She’s a good egg!!!
Bob: She placed in on her blog! Even better!
Jay
You guys are the bestest! Linda Rocks!
As we sometimes say: Yah-sure, you betcha!
I second the endorsement……or maybe it’s a third? or a fourth? Have you seen the sign on Linda’s husbands’s truck? VOTE FOR LINDA!!!
Ines: Yes I have, Jay and I visit her blog regularly (yours too), and keep pretty close track of the “sometime Carnac” as we truly wish to remain on her side as we fear the extra-sharp needle of her satirical humor. VOTE FOR CARNAC…er…LINDA!

I need to get out and play more. You’re all good eggs. Let me go visit Linda and show my support as well.
Maggie, come over here and play ANYTIME!
We love your visits.
