80 degrees at the beach
after the butterflies we walked across the bluffs to the beachand daddy got sexy
and true to form, max got totally naked faster than i could protest.
then faster than that he got crazy itchy with the sand or something and freaked out until we brushed off the sand and put those clothes back on him.
It's a Beautiful Day!
we walked out th the Ellwood butterfly preserve and were surprised by how many people were out and how many butterflies, too.

Happy Thanksgiving
we're giving thanks in Mill Valley this year. doing another house swap, which i highly recommend. unfortunately we were struck with food poisoning on wednesday night (john on thurs) and I had a hard time enjoying my turkey. nor did i have the energy to take the pictures i meant to! we went to uncle john's in lafayette for the thanks giving.
here are some pics PRE - F.P...

FYI
the new Tea fire is far enough away from us, so we are all safe here in Goleta. the winds are blowing really strong(70 mph) in the direction away from us, so we are really not seeing bad smoke and ash either. but it is a very serious fire, many houses have already been burned and it is only a few hours old - already devastating for many...

Max's first election
Max and I did some get out the vote -GOTV- work in our neighborhood. The final task of the long day was to make sure our polling place stayed open for anyone in line at 8pm. no problems here, we have a quiet little polling place. i really don't understand the places where people have to wait hours. why don't they open more polling places??? anyway, it was a fun experience and i got to meet some more neighbors.
when we were doing the last poll check, we got a phone call and as we were talking, they called the race for Obama! yea!!!
VICTORY!

Dear Red States,
Dear Red States:
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware,
that includes California , Hawaii , Oregon , Washington , Minnesota ,
Wisconsin, Michigan , Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe
this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the
people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave
states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the
Statue of Liberty . You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You
get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of
America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama . We
get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay
their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the
Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a
bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be
pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens
back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your
evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to
their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show
pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not
willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent
of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple
and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of
America's quality wines, 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford , Cal
Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to
cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected
health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100
percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent
of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all
televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University , Clemson and the
University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite , thank you.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred
unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent
say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was
involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you
are people with higher morals than we lefties.
Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico
Peace out,
Blue States
So..... Where do I sign??
