Modern art is so confusing

And don't frequent Hyde Park, but wow. As for Hillary signs, I've seen none of those in Brighton either. Not a lot of political signs in Allston/Brighton at all. I don't believe I've seen a presidential one, although I have a neighbor two houses down who posts big signs for local candidates.

Only Hillary signs I've seen in these parts are in the "do as we say, not as we do" W 'burbs.

My grandparents used to have a house near the water in Winthrop. A casual observer would question if they were at risk of flooding but someone who knew the topographical layout of the land would know they were elevated well above even historic massive flooding levels, it was just an illusion because of how things were layed out that they would be at risk. My grandfather always joked that if the water was his doorstep then the rest of the city was already under water and it didn't matter anyway.

Back to Trump and Clinton in Massachusetts. MA is such a safe bet for Clinton that she is putting minimal work in here except to gather money or resources or possibly people to go to NH. Why bother putting resources into MA. To paraprhrase my Grandfather, if Hillary loses MA then the rest of the country would have went huge for Trump anyway so what difference does it make? I would questions her if she were spending time putting signs up in Readville...

In the Democratic primary, the Pioneer Valley and the surrounding hilltowns went in the 70s for Bernie Sanders. I was a Sanders volunteer, and between here, Boston, and canvassing in three neighboring states, I saw very few Clinton signs. For whatever reason, hers doesn't seem to be a very lawn-sign campaign -- subjective impression only.

Biking up through the hinterlands, I saw several official and not so official ones. One was painted on scraps of wood with barely legible screeds against Her.

My favorite was the one that was carefully rendered in crayon! The writing was childish (although a ruler was used to line out the sign) and it was set amongst signs for far more progressive candidates.

This led me to believe that it was very likely an act of epic parenting - someone didn't shut down their kid, but recognized that a crayon sign does Drumpf no favors, either.
