The SO is home from tour! Yay! I explained to him about the defective cookie box and he just laughed, which I'm pretty sure means, go ahead and eat the other sleeve while I'm lying in bed sick. (He brought home a cold. Woe.)
Meanwhile, I have arrived home and promptly broken out in hives. I genuinely am allergic to where I live. Someone please explain to me why I should not just turn back around and move to LA. It's so awful when I can see the female cedars turn colors all threatening. And they release their spores all at once, so it's totally a bombing. I consider it downright hostile. I have never had allergies before my entire life, before last year.
You know we'd welcome you with open arms, Liese
Colorado tree sex is already killing my lungs this year.
So, I survived my first caucus. Our precinct was a mess, the precinct captain was a bitter old woman who answered any question with "it doesn't really matter". I ended up precinct chair and am an alternate delegate.

The orange blossom trees are killing me.
Every year I wonder why I live in the middle an enormous nut-producing region. It's pretty dumb. But, hey, it's only bad in the spring. And fall. And warmer parts of wintertime.
I do wish I had cookies. I'm kind of craving apple pie right now, but I would take a cookie.
Suzi, do you ever do anything without finding yourself i a leadership position? I don't understand caucuses in the least despite various media attempts to explain them, but go you for wading in and getting through!
MA went for Trump. I do not understand.
I would bet that MA GOP are disaffected as hell.
I wonder if I can convince the SO that this box of Girl Scout Cookies from Gracie only came with one sleeve of Thin Mints? I think it's defective. Possibly the only solution to this is to eat the other sleeve of Thin Mints and pretend I only bought one box. But that would be contrary to my nature and he knows this. So, hmm...
Hand SO the single sleeve and say, "I saved these for you. That I saved this many for you is a testament to how much I love you." That's what I say to Daniel.
We caucused. It was the first time either of us had ever done such a thing. Even so, Daniel ended up as our precinct caucus chair and he volunteered to go as a delegate to the county convention thingy. We both submitted resolutions to be considered for the party platform.
Go Suzi and Andi and DCJ rocking your civic duty!
Whoa. That's not usual, right?
I don't think so. Even after checking articles on it, I'm not sure I follow, but it seems in years past, Colorado caucuses had a vote for the nominee but delegates weren't pledged thereafter. Or something. That meant delegates for a losing candidate could then switch to the presumptive nominee in vote 1. But in 2012, apparently Ron Paul supporters used this to cause shenanigans, so the RNC changed the rules so any preference votes for candidates had to result in pledged delegates. Colorado didn't like it, and decided not to have any vote for a candidate at all.
Or along those lines. I feel I'm missing something.
