Welcome back, Arye. I am so glad you are home and basically all right. Be glad you are not Type 1, so no regular self-inflicted shots.
Mark, I make no claim to the outcome of yesterdays caucus. I did not vote for him. I was very disappointed in the process. I expected some statements from the candidates being read or folks discussing them. Instead it was a huge long line (we got there early, so we were among the first to be allowed in) that let 20 people at a time in to sign in and take a paper ballot (not even an “official” ballot, just a print-out on a strip of paper). You then either voted and left or hung around to talk to your neighbors about who to vote for. We asked, and there were no scheduled speeches or round-table discussions planned, and everyone was voting and leaving immediately. Each precinct had a four-seat table for neighbors to sit and talk. (There were about 24 precincts voting at that location.) We sat and chatted with one woman and then voted & left. Disappointing to say the least. When we walked back to the parking lot, there must have been hundreds of people in line. It snaked around the buildings and halfway across the parking lot. I’m glad we decided to go early!
So much for my adventures in caucus.
Temp is almost 60 with a high expected around 65. Michael is back at the office and I’m going to indulge in my Downton Abbey binge. I am into season three and just watched the one where Sybil died.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
