Dear Friends,

Wild weather here and even wilder down south with the huge damage from Hurricane Michael. I know the president says this is all a hoax and he’ll have to figure out who wrote the UN climate report that says we have only 12 years before irreversible damage is done to our planet, but seriously folks, climate change is real – just look at the evidence. Oh, I forgot science is not science…

It was 82 on Wednesday and I took the Indian to drive to work and just had to leave at lunch for a joy ride. Now I hear it is supposed to be only a high of around 40 on Saturday. Hapy texted me a screenshot from his iPhone last night of the weather app and asked me what that symbol was next to next Tuesday — yup, it was a snowflake and that makes my preparations to head south even more urgent.

We are only 25 days from the election and, yes, it is the most important election in my lifetime, and probably yours, too. Please get out and vote. In many states, you can vote early, too! I sort of like going to the voting booth so I will be voting around the corner from my house. This year we are opening our stores and offices late on Election Day so that our employees have the ability to get to their local polling place conveniently. If you send a picture of yourself by your polling place or of you and your mail-in ballot to sales@smalldog.com we will send you a coupon for $10 off your next order!
