The consummate articulator of regular folks’ thoughts, has died.
Also leaving the stage yesterday was another kind of articulator, that of dance.
The world is poorer.

More on Campaign Finance

To reiterate, buzz words like small donors, and grassroots, really are meaningless in this election cycle. Even the Center for Responsive Politics conflates donor and donations in this article below. Individual contributions are counted by the FEC when a person has donated one or more times for an amount of money that reaches or exceeds $200.
Many people, myself included, sent donations via credit card on a monthly basis. As soon as the $200 threshold is reached, every donation thereafter, whether $10 or $1000, is counted as an individual contribution. Yet, those amounts still come from one donor. (more…)

Finally, gray skies and a glorious California rain! As one who is in the construction industry, I know there are workers everywhere, scrambling with blue tarps, tie downs and tape. They worked to the last minute. They worry whether that last coating is dry enough. Others are wondering if they will be called in the middle of the night to stop a leak, or have to secure that swing stage banging about in the after-storm wind.
No matter, it’s a glorious rain!

This Disturbs Me

I’ll just say it. We’ve done better at housekeeping than now. I gave up beating myself about it, because I’ve had other things on my mind, like traveling daily a hundred miles or more for my job, or spending time on my business or the myriad other things that must get shoved into too little time.
However, occasionally someone in our family finds it; a couple slices of bread, an english muffin, left still wrapped and forlorn after a month’s sojourn in the cupboard.
I buy only brown, I buy mostly organic. Yet there it sits, still soft and not a speckling of mold. SOMETHING IS WRONG!
Is this a metaphor?
