So, it's election time here in Natchez, and the little election signs are in everybody's yards everywhere in the city. We've got Ronny Brown running for Sheriff, Bob Dearing for Senator, and others running for typical elected offices. But there are signs for a few positions that I'm not used to seeing--like Tax Collector and County Coroner. :-) County coroner? You have to run for that position? Yikes--it doesn't seem like you'd have people fighting over that job. Also, if you're voting for a tax collector, wouldn't you want to vote for someone you don't like--since people usually don't like tax collectors? So, if you were running for tax collector, would you try to make yourself seem like an unlikable person? Is running for positions like these a Southern thing? Because I certainly don't remember ever voting for an Orem City Tax Collector or a Utah County Coroner.
Anyway, today is a nice sunny day here in Natchez. This morning I finished taking pictures of and cataloging all of the undergarments in the historic clothing collection. I didn't know that there were so many types of undergarments!! Now it's onto the men's clothes, the ball gowns, work dresses, and accessories.
Today someone almost kicked the bucket in the visitor center. I had a momentary flood of panic when this older gentleman looked like he was going to kill over, but thankfully he recovered. I think it was maybe just a little too warm for him, and he was sitting down and stood up a little too fast. Or, it could have been that he was talking too much on my tour right before that--just kidding (although he did have plenty to say). The camp kids are up at Vicksburg today, so we're enjoying the peace and quiet here while it lasts.
