WYTHE Co., Va. – Like it or not, we have Barack Obama for four more years. I hope our elected officials toss aside their differences and work together, but I am not holding my breath. Meanwhile, I get to gather political signs, tear off the banners, and replenish my tomato stake inventory for next spring’s garden. With almost six billion spent on the elections, at least I am getting new tomato stakes out of that crazy number.
