14658. Magoseph - 4/21/2005 10:40:27 AM Have a very good trip, thoughtful.
How did it go yesterday, Judith?
14659. alistairconnor - 4/21/2005 2:33:59 PM Helo Mago.
I've been looking at the weather forecast in despair. Coming up: third rotten weekend in a row. And as I've got Monday off, I am not resolved to put up with it.
So I checked the weather forecast in Italy...
... Not marvellous, but considerably better... in Tuscany for example.
So, tomorrow afternoon... six hour drive... 14660. judithathome - 4/21/2005 4:00:57 PM I am freed from poll watching duty. I was there almost 5 hours yesterday and we had a record first day for early voting turnout.
There are new people working the polls and our candidate is slightly paranoid about voter fraud. He had asked me and another woman to work the entire ten days but I talked to him last night and convinced him we are doing more harm than good by pushing this. Nearly everyone involved with voting yesterday mentioned we have never had poll watchers before; the election has divided the village and that has never happened to this extent before, either.
It is my feeling that by signaling we don't trust the people running the election, we are sending a further divisive signal. Plus it is giving the opposition something to beat us over the head with...so my candidate agreed, finally, to three checks of the ballot box seal, random in scope, and a final check of the ballot box before it is opened at the precinct for counting.
14661. arkymalarky - 4/22/2005 12:59:27 AM That sounds reasonable.
Got out of the house for the first time since I got home (a full week), but it was tiring and I'm sore. I'm staying close to home for another week, then hopefully I'll be able to get out and about some. 14662. Magoseph - 4/22/2005 10:00:43 AM Ali, I wish you a nice weekend--will you camp?
Judith, yes, it does sound reasonable, as Arky said. Now comes the wait for election's day results--by the way, when is it exactly?
Arky, what did the doctor tell you to do as far as getting exercise? 14663. alistairconnor - 4/22/2005 12:13:17 PM Camper van Mago... my pride and joy.
All we need is a parking space. Not that this is necessarily easy, not in Italy. 14664. Magoseph - 4/22/2005 12:39:22 PM Arky, what did the doctor tell you to do as far as getting exercise?
Never mind, Arky, I found the answer in Health. 14665. Magoseph - 4/22/2005 12:39:53 PM Ali, drive carefully! 14666. Magoseph - 4/22/2005 12:47:26 PM Great pictures in Escapes of Ms. No's trip to Acapulco, people. 14667. judithathome - 4/22/2005 1:59:04 PM Alistair, the election date is May 7. I cannot wait til it's over!
On that date, we have reservations for a play...luckily it's the matinee performance and we should be done with it by 5:30 and then on to dinner. I want to be back at city hall by 7pm for the announcement of who won and on to the victory party! 14668. Magoseph - 4/23/2005 3:45:56 PM 
Would you pay those prices?: From left: Tsubi, $319; True Religion, $359; Blue Blood, $272; Chip & Pepper, $275.
14669. judithathome - 4/23/2005 6:59:24 PM I wouldn't even pay one fifth of those prices.
But Keoni has some jeans just like those that we would gladly SELL for those prices.
(Can't wait til Arky checks in....) 14670. Magoseph - 4/23/2005 10:57:12 PM Come on, Arky--we want to know how you feel. 14671. arkymalarky - 4/24/2005 12:39:10 AM Had a day at the MIL's today while Bob mowed her lawn. I'll have to wait until this slug of a dial-up modem loads the picture to see what y'all are talking about.
I will say this: whatever it is, at those prices I wouldn't own it. 14672. arkymalarky - 4/24/2005 12:42:28 AM I don't even want to guess what Mose would do.
Of course since they don't have huge tears in them I doubt she'd want them.
14673. wonkers2 - 4/24/2005 3:15:02 PM How about a little sympathy? It's snowing hard in Michigan with up to 8 inches predicted by tonight. 14674. arkymalarky - 4/24/2005 7:43:28 PM Dang. It's sunny, cool, and beautiful here. Our Detroit friends are down for a few weeks visiting relatives, and I'll bet they're thrilled at their timing--not hot and humid here, either. 14675. anomie - 4/24/2005 7:54:45 PM Arky, belated good regards and glad to see yuo back after your surgury? was it? I read about it briefly at work.
Snowing in Michigan? How weird. It's also unseasonably cool here in Charleston SC too. Should be down in the 40s tonight. I love it. The summer's heat and humidity will be here soon enough.
Hi Judith! 14676. arkymalarky - 4/24/2005 9:27:17 PM Hey Anomie! Great to see you in here! Thanks so much. I had surgery last week, and I'm doing well. I'm done teaching for the year, though. Feels kind of strange, but it will be stranger later after I quit hurting and feel like I'm supposed to be working. 14677. judithathome - 4/24/2005 9:57:00 PM Hey, Ano and Arky...cool enough here that I have the heat on. Weird weather everywhere.
