As an Iowan, all I have to say is thank freaking goodness they're almost out of my state.
And hey. If any other state wants 14 months of umpteen candidates harassing them, you're welcome to it. I'm up to 4-6 calls a day and someone knocking on my door every third day.
New Hampshire is a burlap sack of laughs right about now. You know how I know? Apparently, New Hampshire doesn't have any of its own radio or TV stations (shut up) so they broadcast all of their political advertising throughout Massachusetts.
We don't even get to slap away the hands of intrusive politicians vote for like two months! And yet, the evening news was chockablock with laughable/grr-able ads two months ago.
I'd like to see, at least, a rotating "first in the nation" set-up. But I've always lived in states that are too big to argue "we should be first because we're small and should have some say now because we don't get any in the general election" but too small to say "we're big enough to be courted in the general election."
It's currently a balmy 13 degrees here in Boston. I like winter why again? 'Cause days like this make me forget that I do.
It does help that it's sunny instead of gray, but it also looks so inviting that I want to go outside, and I know that's just a trap by Mr. Snowmiser.
Happy birthday, Shrift!!
My SiL in NC is supposed to be induced today so I may have a nephew who shares your birthday (unless, of course, he takes his sweet time even after the induction). Seems auspicious!
In other ious news, my salad is delicious!!!

ION, I am learning some accounting things and my head go 'splody.
Randomly, am I crazy to be somewhat interested in volunteering for a homeless census thing the city is doing?

Not crazy! It could be really interesting and it's useful work!
I'm up to 4-6 calls a day and someone knocking on my door every third day.
Thank goodness the only strangers who knock on my door are the religious ladies (I'm not sure what religion, but on the few occasions I've actually answered the door to them, a cheerful "no thank you" to their "Would you like to talk about God?" sends them on their way.) The phone calls are bad enough. I think the record was 10 on my answering machine, all just shy of implying the other candidates ate babies for fun. And that was just the mayoral election!
