G'day Cashmere. The election results are interesting. Arnold is certainly having a bad morning.

Hee. That's not a bad thing. We here in Ohio didn't do so well. I was hoping Ken Blackwell would get a big, "EAT IT, KEN!" from the voters. But NSM. At least the county levy for Drug, Alcohol and Mental Illness treatment passed, as well as our local operations levy.

why didn't I know about it?

It was very stealthily arranged.

It was a mixed bag, but it was nice that the supposedly close elections in VA and NJ ended up not so close. And San Diego has a mayor! I really don't know if either candidate was stellar, but if they can have the same person for a bit that has to be an improvement.

Yogurt:

and I am off to car pool. I hope it isn't like yesterday. My 20 minute roundtrip ended up being 75. The county decided to have 4 distribution centers for emergency food stamps after the storm. (crazy considering our population) One is between me and school. Yikes. Nearly 20,000 people showed up and it caused serious traffic issues.

Am I the only one here who missed the news that Don Adams died in September?

I knew and promtly forgot. which annoys me , because I wasn't as invovled as I planned to be. But i am very happy.

Welcome to 4 am on the west coast. this is getting truely annoying. I 've been awake for at least half an hour if not an hour. no worries, just woke up and started thinking. and planning an email. Which is a list of books for an eight year old boy that is an insaitable reader. so it is a good email, but really , i didn't need to plan it out now, or even write it now. the Morning is good.

Yay, Aimee and Joe's new computer!

Good luck with the carpool, Laura. YIKES, indeed.

Poor beth. I hate it when the brain starts working just enough to keep you awake.

I anticipated an early wake up this morning (Owen fell asleep early) so I was ready at 6 a.m. for once.

I'm finally going to bed for a bit. Yes, the computer was quietly arranged through LJ. Sorry we didn't cast a wider net, but we really wanted to keep it a secret and truly surprise them.

Get some rest, ND--you've earned it! It was an awesome surprise.

I hope you get to catch a nap at some point Beth.

My LJ use is sporadic at best.

The car pool worked fine this morning. The traffic cops seem to have better organization today. Still a crazy long backup, but the bypass lane was clear and smooth going. Yay!

When DH came home from pool league this morning at 2am the line was already starting.
