Halloween at Herb's: The Vision

Herb and ip were pondering the future of the Democratic Party after the TEA movement blows itself up and takes the GOP with it.

His ranch is about nine miles south as the raven flies from Devil's Tower. The house on the sandstone rimrock overlooking the Belle Fourche River with the deck view of the Bear Lodge Mountains looms in my memory as this is being typed. He hadn't seen the Christine O'Donnell campaign ad or the SNL skit parodying it, so I played them for him on the laptop.

Moments afterwards, this image appeared for just long enough to get a photo as the cackling echoes died in the canyon.
