When I started writing these columns my editor reminded me this is a community paper and my content should be “mostly” community-based. My problem is that I was raised by a scientist who viewed the world from the point of view of the sun and our entire solar system. Some folks have said I’m too political. When a toddler learns they are not the centre of the universe, they (hopefully) start to engage with others’ interests along with their own. Politics, love it or hate it, this is the vehicle we have to calm the beast.

Pence still plans to arrive at a Delta Air Lines facility Thursday afternoon and then follow it up with a high-dollar Georgia GOP fundraiser in Buckhead. Donors were sent an email late Wednesday asking them to “please monitor your inbox” in case of a late change. Democrats also plan to roll out the welcome mat with a rally outside of the Grand Hyatt Buckhead featuring a range of supporters of Democrat Stacey Abrams. Among the speakers are Jeff Graham of Georgia Equality and Nse Ufot of the New Georgia Project. The trip was moved to Thursday after an earlier visit was scrapped in September as Hurricane Florence menaced Georgia. *** Meanwhile, the two candidates haven’t yet announced any change of plans with the impending storm’s approach. In a statement, Abrams campaign manager Lauren Groh Wargo said the campaign is “keeping a close eye on Hurricane Michael and moving any staff in affected areas to safe territory.” *** Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder visited Georgia over the weekend to stump for Stacey Abrams and other Democrats, but his comments advocating a more aggressive approach to the midterms are just now surfacing online. At a rally with volunteers in front of Abrams campaign signs, he talked about how Democrats should start to model themselves after Republicans. When they go low, we kick them.
