Hope all that shakes out to the good for you one way or another, sarameg

I'm not part of a city! Yay!

Mr Peabody thinks there's something alive in the office in addition to him and me. He is now destroying a box to get at whatever it is. I do not want him to be right.

Man, fucking Houston voters.

And yes, Maria, profile is good.

Oy, sara. I applaud your desire not to burn the entire bridge. It would be nice to see you less stressed though.

Burrell, I find wine is great for those times I don't give a shit.

Yay, Ginger! Mr Peabody, please don't gift your human with anything except love and affection.

Dana, insent. Lemme guess, no human rights for anyone except white, male, Republican Texans?

I like to think the pro-city people lost the last 150 votes with the last-minute flyer that used a dark photo of Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed to threaten voters in neighborhoods near Atlanta that if they didn't vote for cityhood, their neighborhoods would be annexed by the scary black man. The icing on the cake: it misspelled the Toco Hills neighborhood Tocco Hills throughout.

The ballot consisted of six judicial positions, five of which were uncontested.

I've thought that it makes exactly as much sense to elect judges as to elect Brain Surgeons.

As to the Ohio Pot initiative. I suspect a lot of the "no" vote was based on the belief that as written in granted growing monopolies to a very small group. I don't know for sure if that argument is true; no report I saw contested the monopoly charge. Given the level of our press, that lack unfortunately proves little.

Woke up at like 3:30 in a panic about work and also with my head full of music from last Sunday. Ugh. I read some and more or less went back to sleep after a while. I would like a job that does not wake me up in a panic, but I don't think that's a thing for me anymore!!

Preach. You're too high up the food chain now though. I'm in the same boat. This NM deal has suddenly filled my calendar with internal meetings, emails that come in at 6 am, and phone calls that start at 7. Remember, you didn't lose the money!

Not thrilled to be waking up early this am (thanks, ObamaDaylight Savings Time!), but I got in a mile and a half walk up and down the Delmar Loop while it was cool outside, and ate blueberry pie for breakfast at the Peacock Loop Diner. [link]
