Raucous Caucus
(It’s been a while since I posted, so this is a catch-up catch-all entry.)
Tuesday was the Texas primary and it was a corker! In our precinct, there was a preponderance of Obama supporters but still Hillary managed to pull nine delegates vs. 21 for Obama. And she won the state, but not by the huge margin she really needed. We’ll see what happens.
And the caucus was a zoo! For our little area, there were maybe 200 people interested in the caucus, as opposed to three or four in previous years. This scenario played out all over the Metroplex, and Texas as well. It was exciting to be a tiny little part of history!
In other raucous news, I have been busier with a new forum for knitters and crocheters, though oddly (not really), the conversation has not focused much on knitting. A favorite topic seems to be copyright laws and practices, and that particular thread is never ending and self-propagating. Is it “fair use” to copy one pattern from a book in the library? Can one sell a knitted item from someone else’s pattern? Will this yarn felt? etc. ad nauseum.
I have photos of Lucy to upload, mostly on the couch as she rarely sits still when awake. I need to remember to take the camera when we go walking on the nature trail. She is a very good companion - biddable, cheerful and so smart. Her nose is always working, and you can see the wheels of her brain turning. (Although, as a border collie, she has undoubtedly upgraded from an analog brain to a digital one with Intel core.)
There is a dusting of snow on the ground, it’s a Friday and I think the district should declare a snow day, not because the roads are impassable or anything, but because a day off would be fun. But it doesn’t look like they will. Alas.
