I am a friend of Marilyn Agee's and a Republican activist specializing in election law.  I occasionally read on this web site but have never sent a letter.
 
About a month ago, I replaced the roof over my outside deck, started re-arranging the downstairs and cleaning everything, down to taking out-of-date cans out of the pantry and replacing with new items.  I've also given clothes to Goodwill.  It seems important to have this place in good order now.  I'm one who thinks the rapture may happen May 13-14, so why care what this place looks like or why canned food should be fresh cans?  Perhaps it is subconsciously not wanting to leave unfinished business and to leave fresh staples for any family member who might need to come here.  I'm thinking that now since I read about others cleaning.  Before that, I just thought it was about time I got my act together after neglecting this place during the busy election season last year but that doesn't explain the necessity I feel to get it finished quickly.
 
I'll keep cleaning and re-stocking food until I have it the way I want it - whether it's for me or someone else.
