Florida critters and the holidays

An article from the Orlando Sentinel about leaving appropriate goodies for our local wildlife during this holiday season:

You Are The Stuffing

You're complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together.
People miss you if you're gone - but they're not sure why.

4 days later

4 days after the election, and things are sort of returning to normal. It's funny how they do that.

Yesterday we took Bandit to our new favorite park, Sawgrass Lake. It has hills! Elevation! And of course, lots and lots and lots of squirrels. And the humans had a coffee-and-cannoli picnic, obtained from Mazzaro's, which incidentally has become an even more incredible place than before.

Today I'm going to work on cleaning up my study space (no, I won't show you a picture). And then I might even spend some time studying. Possibly at Java Nirvana, which now has wireless.

And I'm reading:

State of Denial (Bob Woodward)

Fragile Things (Neil Gaiman)

and Destined for Destiny: The Unauthorized Autobiography of George W. Bush, which is an absolute riot created by the wonderful and brilliant folks who bring us the Weekly Radio Address.

And now, I'm off to awaken the pancake-maker.

Stumbling through the election?

We just got home after several hours sitting outside our local polling place with a "Samm Simpson for Congress" sign. Especially here in Florida, one is obviously concerned about things going smoothly (or not). So far there's no sense of the magnitude, but there have been problems in a few states today. For a few tidbits of information, if you're as impatient and fidgety today as we are, take a look at:

VoteTrustUSA

or

VotersUnite! - News

or my favorite concept,

VotersUnite! - Election Problem Log - 2006

And I'll assume you've already voted, or are planning to. If not, I hope you have a damn good reason.

Let's keep our fingers crossed, my fellow humans.

Politi-Quiz

You Are 92% Democrat

You are a card carrying Democrat, and a pretty far left one at that!
There's no chance anyone would ever mistake you for a Republican.
