point to Georgia, their whole agriculture industry went up in flames this summer because their new laws made many people leave the state. I think they had vegetables and fruit dying in the farms unpicked.
Here is one article about the labor impact. It may make you crazy:
"We've had comments, some comments, that some restaurateurs are just now, they're uncomfortable now at this point hiring anybody who has a Hispanic surname or an Asian surname," Bremer told a state Senate hearing organized by Democrats last month.

My new riposte to arguments against the Dream Act (that would let good students who were brought illegally to this country as children normalize their immigration status) is that in most cases, our country/state/county/city has put twelve or more years of educational money into these kids.
By deporting them, we're throwing away all that sunk cost.
It's arguably better in the long run we keep these kids (who are A students) around so we can collect money back in the form of income taxes, et cetera.
I love the 21st century, where I can post to Buffistas from top of a mountain... I am sitting on a huge pile of granite, looking down at Donner Lake, and it's quite lovely here.

Oooh, good one.
Hellooooo up there, Consuela!!!
I didn't get around to the yardwork. Or pickling the cukes (though truth be told, I might in a bit.) Nor the manicure.
But that's because I turned this: [link] (I'd flaked off most of the loose paint long prior to today.) into this: [link] I've got to wait a few hours before I can put the shelves back in. I don't think I lost too many brain cells to fumes. And thank god I do my own nails so had a big jug of acetone to clean up the tiles where "the cloud" deposited paint.
Of course, I do this on the muggiest day in a while, so ventilating meant inviting in mugginess. But it is purty now.
....and maybe I should eat something today...
Wow, sarameg! That's amazing.
That is quite a transformation, sara! I also love how our purple and green bathroom has a pink sink. I think instead of trying to find the purple sink to match, you should get a blue or yellow toilet! Do you read Retro Renovation? Because if you don't she just did a a post on a HUGE tile store in New Jersey that has tile and fixtures going back to the 40's (it is family owned), and they might have your other soap dish.

I have a purple sink, original to the neighborhood! My neighbor gave it to me when he redid his bathroom this summer. I just haven't gotten it cleaned up and installed yet, so it is living in the front room: [link]
I'll check out the RR, I haven't been there in a while.
