You may insert your own humorous conclusion to this story and you will probably be correct.

I remember living in England and making traditional Thanksgiving dinner with my housemates. I brought in some pumpkin pie to work, and someone wanted to add custard. Silly british people!

Custard, like Bird's Eye, or the gross egg stuff?

I'm not sure which. It's the stuff that would go on top of a hot apple crumble.

We have one issue to vote on and it's our first mail in vote so it's confusing a lot of people.

The issue is should the city have a stake in the coal plant that will most likey be built in the neighboring county? If the City opts to be in it would have a 20% stake. The city has spent a lot of money sending around flyers "debunking" coal plant myths. The City's position is voting yes will get us a 20% say in what happens!

Opponets of the plan are saying -- coal is icky and 20% doesn't buy a lot of influence.

Then there are the "I'm an environmentalist and I agree with coal" vs "I think environmentalists are a bunch of liberal nutjobs and I oppose the vote."

I use recall several times a month. Sometimes the email I sent has to have dates changed or what not. But I also have read reciepts enabled so I can tell who I'm going to have successful recalls with.

Then there are the "I'm an environmentalist and I agree with coal" vs "I think environmentalists are a bunch of liberal nutjobs and I oppose the vote."

Then there's opposition from the Children's Christmas Stockings lobby.

I needed to find the text for a Cincinatti ballot issue for work

Would that be the "City Council Should Have to Vote on Their Pay Raises So That It's on the Record, Rather Than Just Giving Themselves Raises" issue?

I need to fill in my ballot so we can drop it off after I pick Paul up from work. (Saves us a stamp that way--the best of absentee and regular voting all in one.)

I still think The Girl Who Pretended to be a Boy is the best fairytale ever. [link] I have even made my peace with the part where the girl's gender is actually switched so she can marry the princess. As a child, I wanted the gay marriage, damn it.

I have e-mailed my response to Portland Man. It was reasonable and restrained.

Then I got an Out Of Office reply from him.

I wonder what I should do with the rest of my day now?

Bird's Eye, I'm thinking, Vortex. The good stuff.

People -- you need to talk more. I'm cold, and I'm bored, and I can't surf the web aimlessly.

I pimped Profit at krav yesterday (I made it half the way through a stretch class -- I'm such a machine), and a guy who'd given up on Firefly during Shindig has decided to give disc 2 another chance. I've been dubbed the Netflix of the centre.

Right, folks. Talk. Go.
