Bill Hicks, a 56-year-old disabled machine operator from York, stopped in for a cup of soup and a sandwich. He's had two heart attacks and open-heart surgery.

He has opinions.

He doesn't think this election willl change much. He's a registered Republican and he liked Ron Paul, the libertarian congressman from Texas.

"People are just getting fed up," he said. "No matter who you vote into office, nothing changes. As long as they keep us divided on petty issues, they're going to get what they want. Government by and for the wealthy.

"There is no end to the greed of the well-to-do."

Of the three candidates remaining, he thinks Hillary is the best.

"She just seems to be more politically savvy," he said. "She's been through a lot."

OK, enough of Maple Donuts. Owner Charlie Burnside just came in and joked that I can't work here. "People come in here to relax and talk to their friends," he said. "It's not a workplace."

I told Charlie, "Somebody has to do some work in here."

"You got a point there," he said.
