So, I was at the laundromat doing a months worth of laundry today... [View all]

I was leaning deep into a dryer when I heard someone say "Bernie" which was about the only thing of that conversation I heard until "gonna win in New Hampshire!"

So I pulled my head out of the dryer and asked, "Did I hear you say Bernie Sanders?" with my thumb up. There were about six adults (not together) in the room ages ranging from the twenties to somewhere in middle age. An enthusiastic "Yeah!" was returned and someone whooped when they saw my thumbs up. Everyone was smiling.

That might not seem like much, but I live in a very red area of northeast Florida. It is very rare to hear any positive conversations about Democrats or liberal types in this area. And most folks aren't even talking about the 2016 candidates yet.

I can't remember any time since I've been voting that people have been smiling happily about any candidate. Good things are happening, folks!
