Best part of volunteering in Wisconsin this past week.

One of my friends showed up hung over, so I had fun mentioning to the fieldstaff and volunteers I knew that he was hung over, but was so dedicated, that he came.

The one older (white) woman with the Wisconsin accent who had once told me she got invited up on a porch to have a beer with some (African-American) voters during the last presidential election and then got invited back the next week for a BBQ, took my friend's being hung over very matter-of-factly.

"Oh yeah, that can happen," she was like.  "It's good that he's out in the fresh air walking around, that always helps."
