Hiatus

I launched this blog on January 8, 2006. I didn't expect to continue as long as I have with 1,132 blog entries since my first posting.

Earlier this year, I told myself I'd take a hiatus after the November election, which you've probably noticed if you're a loyal reader.

I'm going to take some time till the end of the year to assess whether I will continue postings.

Until then, enjoy a Scrabble game or two. Or maybe go play some disc golf. Ouch. I know I just touched a nerve.

Today's Scrabble word is galyak, a fur made of lambskin.

jimmyweb2.jpgI would be very surprised if Mark Sorensen surpasses Larry Wahl for the fourth and final open seat on the Chico City Council.

Right now Sorensen is behind Wahl by 328 votes.

Most people I know – Democrats, Republicans, and independents – are rooting for Sorensen because he’ll bring a fresh perspective.

Nevertheless, Sorensen appears to have run a mild campaign. It’s surprising given that he barely lost two years ago and should have been hungrier to win this time.

He should have walked every neighborhood during the past year to meet as many voters one-on-one as he could.

Prop. 8

The "Yes on Prop. 8" campaign is trying to appeal to African-American voters by sending out a mailer highlighting support from ministers.

Wassup

Change. That's wassup.

This is the last weekend to mobilize voters with get out the vote (GOTV) efforts before election night.

Based on new party registrations, it's pretty clear local Democrats have been much more successful than local Republicans over the past several months.
