"Fall with Walker"

This runs through my mind everytime I see one of those blue Stand with Walker signs - er I mean mini-billboards now popping up like dandelions everywhere I turn.

Unrelated side note, I'm proud that our little ol' group is reaching the post count of the Lone Star frontrunners in DU state groups.
