I was quite pleased. I came up with a couple quick introductions and amended one. I said I was mythical beast, a Republican that liked Democrats. I only got a couple of Republicans that balked at that but I was wearing my Lincoln tee under my flannel shirt and I just told them I wanted to keep America together like my Republican hero. No one could argue with that.<\/p>\n<p>The four mile finish was an eight mile round trip and I was beat afterward having finished a quarter marathon although not at a jog. Many people mentioned they had seen my lawnsigns or gottem my letter in the mail. Several said they&#8217;d be voting for me in the primary.<\/p>\n<p>I just uploaded some of my pics to my Flickr Account but they won&#8217;t likely show up till tomorrow. I&#8217;ll post a couple of them then.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I checked my PO Box today. I was quite pleased.<\/p>\n<p>I was ready to go see dinosaurs when my son-in-law called to ask if we wanted to join them in seeing the lates Jurassic Park. We did, Nice rest. Ridiculous plot and the ever-burning slow dying grasshoppers were very out there. But the dinosaurs were predictably awesome if inept at eating the good guy actors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After putting up my lawnsigns along the Grandma&#8217;s marathon route yesterday I went down to pass out my cards this morning as I walked&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-welty-for-congress-2022"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33547"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33554,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33547\/revisions\/33554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
