Only 9 to go

Nine weeks left until the due date! It seems like it should be a lot less than that in many ways, but it also seems like time has passed very quickly.

Hopefully it won't be too hot by April 22nd...but I doubt it. The mosquitos are already out and my feet and lower arms have lots of bites. It's been sunny and in the mid 70s lately, except for a few stormy days that coincided with the tornados in other parts of the state and in Alabama and Florida.

In political news, the world of Georgian politics is rather bleak and distressing. It is, after all, a Huckabee state. The fact that it is also an Obama state does not mitigate the Huckabee factor. Sometimes it feels like we're living in a Hunter S. Thompson essay.

The Green Party is running a local (Atlanta) woman as their presidential candidate. She is a former eight term Congressional Representative, so that should be interesting. So far I haven't heard back from the national Green Party as to what needs to be done locally to help out. The nominating process here is much simpler than Oregon - although that's not saying a whole lot because I think Oregon's system is probably the most complicated in the nation. For those of you who have not seen it, here is a link to the Oregon Supreme Court's decision in the Nader 04 campaign in which I am a named petitioner against the Secretary of State of Oregon:
