I wish I had a rock to seek shelter under. My family has been going on about the presidential election since last November.

I don't really care enough to watch it. Boy asked the other day, "So, what do you think about the Mars thing?" I said, 'Eh don't care really,' to which his reply was, "Yeah, me either," end of conversation.
