Catching up

Well, it's been a while. Some random happenings since my last posting:
Political:
-Obama wins 11 straight primaries (wow, it has been a while since I posted)
-Clinton won three and then "offered" Obama the VP spot if he would withdraw from the race. Like Obama said, since when does the second place contestant offer the first place contestant second place? Hillary Clinton is definitely a mega-egomaniac.
-Geraldine Ferraro makes some very stupid statements....or some very true statements, depending on which way you spin them, I guess. My take?--she was working for Hillary Clinton, what do you think she meant? Then she resigned. Wow, if only we could get Howard Dean to realize how stupid he sounds. And this man is a DOCTOR?
-The Governor of the state of New York resigns for getting caught transferring large sums of money to a front corporation for prostitution. The kicker? He got caught by the same money laundering laws that he was partially responsible for putting in place when he was the Attorney General of New York. What a short memory he has, eh?
Natural occurrences:
-England has an earthquake in the middle of the night. We have some friends who live there, they all slept through it, except for their youngest son, 7 years old, who woke up when his favorite stuffed animal was rocking back and forth.
-We (Ohio) got 12+ inches of snow. The weather guessers finally predicted a big storm correctly. By the way, they've "predicted" at least 4 major ice/snow storms this year for us and every single one has come in at about 25-50% of what they predicted. One of them was supposed to be 8-10" of snow and ice, we got 1" of snow, a bit of ice and a lot of rain. Guess they forgot to look at the thermometer on that one, you know? Where was I? Oh, 12+ inches of snow that happened last Fri/Sat. Sun was fun to go out and play in it, but the temps were up in the high 30s and have pretty much stayed there since. So, our blizzard has all but disappeared. But building a snowman family in the front yard with my kids was fun.
I guess that's good for now. I have some other thoughts to share, I'll get to them soon......I promise.
