This morning was the first morning for sign waving. This is a time honored tradition locally, where you stand out by the side of the road and hold a yard sign and wave at people as they drive by. It's a cheap way of raising name recognition. Three friends stood with me, and we held our signs and waved for an hour and a quarter until the smog and heat overcame us.
Also this morning the Tallahassee Democrat printed profiles of each of the judicial candidates.

And, coincidentally, it was the day that I had a color insert put in the paper. One of my friends said the insert fell out of the paper while he was reading it on the treadmill at the gym and he nearly tripped over it. He said he felt that was a liability issue.
Then tonight, the local PBS station, with the League of Women Voters, had every single local candidate on television for 2.5 minutes. We were each allowed to bring 10 supporters to make noise and carry on. The judicial candidates were the first candidates on the program. It was shown live tonight and will be shown repeatedly between now and the election. It was fun.
