Just about every conversation begins with the weather, sooooo, how about the weather? High today near 80 with a 40 percent chance of rain, low tonight around 65 with a 50 percent chance of rain. High Wednesday near 74 with 50 percent chance or ‘wet stuff’. Cooler temps Wednesday night with lows around 49, high in the mid 60s on Thursday and low Thursday night around 44 degrees. Cool streak could last a few days.

There was no way to persuade the experts, some with a little ‘joy-juice’ that I should be one of their top three picks for the office. Great education, led the ticket in two separate elections, Primary and General. Sometimes, running for office was more fun than serving. Met a lot of good folks.

The consensus after an election is that 100 percent of Americans think 50 percent of Americans have lost their minds.
The worst part about working for the department of unemployment is when you get fired you still have to show up the next day.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
