I discovered a new mil blog,
Boots On Ground, over the weekend. I've added it to my list of Daily Reads and will be visiting it often.
I love living in California, but it means I have a front row seat to all the recent craziness. First there was the recall election. I wasn't at all surprised when
Ah-nold won the governorship. It was as the
prophecy (all who star in this will become governor) foretold, confirmed when
Jessie Ventura first became governor of MN. I wonder which state will be lucky enough to have
this guy as governor.
Then there were the
supermarket strikes I
mentioned before. Now we have these extreme
wildfires. All over Southern California, the sky is brown and thick with ashes and smoke. Lo-Gung's brother and sister-in-law live in an affected area, so they had to evacuate with only the clothes on their backs. They are currently staying with my in-laws, and had to go to the store to buy clothes and essentials.
On a brighter note, a friend I've known since childhood got married this weekend (Congrats A & C!). I missed the church wedding but made it to the Chinese Banquet held at the
Universal Hilton.
(
Predator spiel shamelessly borrowed from
The Daily Show as my brain is still recovering from the
gay bar adventure. Perhaps I'll blog more about these events later.)
