Small world -- or a small state, anyway

My brother just called. It seems that about the time Jeri Thompson was here, his wife and their younger daughter ran into Jeri's husband at a Starbuck's in Greenville.

That is so South Carolina. Everybody runs into everybody else, often at the same time.

In fact, my sister-in-law and niece had their picture taken with the candidate, whose campaign bus had stopped there before heading down for a Lexington event early this afternoon.

Unfortunately, I can't share the picture with you -- the staffer contacted my sister-in-law later to beg her forgiveness. It seems that after he got back on the bus, he realized he had missed the shot because the card on his digital camera was full.

Sheesh. These amateurs...
