As many of you know I, your Queen Marie Slugtoinette, am temporarily out of the country spreading the slime abroad and promoting the allure of gastropods and the wonders of Oregon! As SLUG Queen, I am sensitive to the importance of every single vote and was dutiful in casting my ballot a la absentee. I am very proud to be an American Slug.
I have posted a photo here of myself with the US Ambassor to Barbados, Mary Ourisman, on election night at her home . You may not know that our very first American President, George Washington, may owe his presidency and perhaps his life to Barbados. At the age of 18 George came to Barbados to live for a short time (just like your SLUG Queen), and he caught small pox. Luckliy it was mild and he recovered well in the sea air...but he retained a crucial immunity to the disease. When he returned an eventually took his post as general, many of his troops died horrifically of small pox at Valley Forge--but George was immune thanks to Barbados. Just a thought "Slug Queen for President 2012"?
