Visit

There are <a href="http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/05/20/news/state/18-obama_s.txt">lots</a> of <a href="http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/05/20/news/state/21-obama_s.txt">stories</a> about Obama's visit to Crow Agency yesterday in the Gazette so I thought I would add my memories of the event here.<br />n<br />nI had been putting off doing some business in town until after I got the calves branded. I still have things to do but i could take an afternoon to run in and do them now. I had planned Monday afternoon for this for the longest time now. I get to town and start doing the things I need to do with no problem and then end up at the County Courthouse.<br />n<br />nThe damn place was like a ghost town. I wasn't even sure if anybody was in the building for a while. There was nobody at the Clerk of court office, county assessors office, and a couple of other offices I went to. They were all out at the Obama rally at Crow. I finally found the County Clerk and Recorder in her office and manged to get her to do a couple of the things I needed for me since the other people weren't in their office. These things weren't her job but she was helpful in getting them done. It might have helped that she is an old friend of mine. <br />n<br />nThis whole thing was really upsetting though to me. Why can county employees all run off from their jobs and leave the courthouse vacant when real working people around town have to stay and do their jobs? What makes them so special? Are they going to pay for my extra trip to town and lost work hours since I have to go back in to finish what I should have got done yesterday afternoon since they were playing hooky? What a bunch of bullshit. <br />n<br />nThat's how I will remember Obama and his visit. A big bunch of bullshit that screwed me all up. Thanks Obama.
