He's an Illinois resident and they're having their primary today.  Hope he pops back in at some point with some info.

Pandora, turnout in my precinct was very, very low. About 11% or 12%. I think a lot of people here have a hard time getting too excited about this right now. A lot of us (especially in the down state areas) want to beat Teh Won, but we know that thanks to Chicago, it's going to be nigh impossible to take this state from him in November.

Eyes in front = predator.

Curiously, those PETA types have eyes in front.

Must be a mental problem of some sort.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

My state (Washington) chose to save money by not running a primary election this year and instead had caucuses. Surprisingly, the turnout was much larger than anticipated (to the point where several locations turned people away because they couldn't accommodate the overflow).

We still ended up with mittens.

I suck at gambling - too conservative I guess  laughpoundingfloor

Anyway....welcome!


Sometimes being conservative when gambling can be a plus. Gamblers who constantly chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow often get a pot, but it ain't full of gold.

BTW--Alphabet Soup was the name of a Thoroughbred that won nearly $3 million during his career. A striking, long-striding gray. In 24 starts he had 10 wins, three seconds, and six thirds. His biggest win was in the 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic. He now stands at stud in Saratoga Springs, NY.

I hear that people get a rush gambling. I don't know if it is true or not because I don't. So I don't. I would never interfere with someone gambling - as a matter of fact when my folks were more mobile they used to go to Vegas from time to time on the senior junkets. They always had a blast and I was happy for them.

Oh, and thanks for the anecdote - I just knew that there was a reason for choosing that moniker  ;)

LOL, Pandora! They know already! I visited Claiborne Farm in Paris, KY back in 2000. Normally breeding season starts around February, and these guys can't read a calendar. But they are creatures of habit, and they know that cold weather means it's time for some hot, sweaty, horsey-love. ;D

Well it was in November when I was down there, and it was already getting cool. Those boys were starting to get pretty feisty.

Like the line in Lord of the Rings, when the Witch-King says, "Do not stand between a nasgul and it's prey." Same thing applies in that situation--do not stand between a stallion and his..."date."
