Today's the day... Cast my ballot at 6:15 this morning, and was glad to do so. With all but one exception, I voted Democratic (yes, Dad, you can rejoice.) Yes, I'm naive. Yes, I've started to believe at least some of what I read with respect to Iraq, torture, foreign policy, and the covert operations of our current executive. Yes, I believe in checks-and-balances, and the blank check Hastert and Frist gave Bush over the past 2-3 years is criminal. Yes, I believe Carl Rove is Satan, a demagogue who sowed division in a country desperately needing togetherness, all for political gain. Yes, I believe we've willfully exchanged freedom for safety. * * * Okay, the reality here--our only national election was for the House of Representatives, in that race Ben Chandler ran without Republican opposition. Still, I hope enough Republicans get their butts kicked that SOME of the political structure changes...
Getting both cars in the garage is as satisfying as working oneself back into one's "skinny jeans" :-)

ReplyDeleteIndeed! Now, if we could just get rid of 1/2 the stuff in the garage and the attic above it....
I'm a minimalist, and I married a pack-rat ("...but I might need that sometime!")
HEY!! You never know when we're gonna get a bigger house and need another pair of lamps to go in it....
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
Why are you a programmer and not a test driver for consumer reports (they pay you to autocross on the weekdays....what could be better)?!
@Bella.
ReplyDeleteActually, there is a guy on the vwvortex (handle is 'mutch') who works for CR. Doesn't test cars though.
Plus, Consumer's Union is in Upstate New York. You know, land of the fingerlakes, Watkins Glen, and BIG FRICKIN BLIZZARDS! (Lake effect, baby, yeah!)
