In no particular order:

• I despair of the local Republicans. With the state’s ballot access duopoly being what it is I cannot be anything but a Republican or Democrat.
  • Tests like isidewith indicate that I do not line up all that well with either party in terms of what I actually believe.
  • The current issue of The Gazette portrays our local member of the lower house of the state legislature in a very bad light. She is a Republican. I wound up quite horrified at that.
  • I am not evil.
• “Brother RG Stair” died apparently. A financial crisis looms for the privately owned shortwave broadcast stations in the United States since his Overcomer Ministry provided quite a bit of funding to a number of them. Will WBCQ, WWCR, and WRMI have difficulty staying on the air? Will there be fire sales on airtime? I have no clue.
• The campaign is pretty much not happening. Why? I have to wait for the present primary to finish up for the Democrats to learn who my challenger is in the general election. The primary has had no campaigning between the two women striving for the Democratic Party’s nomination. I have to tread lightly.
• Losing weight is rough as my clothes don’t fit. Since I left the old employer I have lost 50 pounds in going from 238.4 to 188.4. I have a minimum of 26 pounds still to lose though apparently 30 or more would be better. My height is 68 inches for those keeping score with BMI calculation.
