In recent years the VP pick has been about backing and filling the vote

preparation for the election, and little more.

Which is why Kennedy picked Johnson. He needed a Southerner to balance
the ticket.

Exactly.

Did I ever tell you about my great uncle, whose sideline was skinning
horses? He lived in town and did it in his front yard, wearing a suit
and
dress hat. That's the image I have of her with moose and unions. She's
skinning something in her front yard, all dressed up.

BTW, the story about my great uncle is not a joke. It happened around
1910 -
1920, in Greenland, New Hampshire.

Greenland is too built up and Yuppie now but people still hang and
dress their kills in the front yard up north.

The Huntress Library may still be there. Originally it was the first
stone house in New Hampshire.

Damn, I meant oldest *brick* house, not stone. Built by one of the Weeks',
who are intermarried with the Huntresses all over the place.

Damn again. The Huntress Library was what we called it when we were kids, to
tweak the nose of my paternal grandmother, Alice Weeks. It was the Weeks
Library, although Huntresses also lived there.

Getting old can be a real pain in the ass...
