So this is going to be a rambling post. First off, you need to go vote. Go to this site:
http://www.traviscountytax.org/showVoterSearch.do
Enter your first and last name. Find your name in the list and it will tell you where to go vote. Remember that not voting does not “send a message” to the polticians in Washington. If you would like that effect you still need to vote, but vote a blank ballot (just page through until you get to the end and then hit cast ballot). And hey, while you’re there you might find a bond issue you’re compatible with.

On a sad note:

Dr. Grady Niblo Jr. worked to give his patients the time they needed during his 50 years as a psychiatrist. His four decades in Dallas included a private practice and serving with public mental health organizations.

Dr. Niblo, 82, died Monday at Methodist Medical Center of pneumonia, a complication of a stroke.

…

Dr. Niblo was born in Dallas, where his grandparents moved to escape the devastation of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. His father, Grady Niblo, became a Dallas County assistant district attorney, U.S. attorney and city attorney. Grady Niblo Road in southwest Dallas is named for him.

And I was reading about Lance Armstrong running the New York City marathon. And they were talking about how his body isn’t really the ideal for running. Which made me think about the fact that even though I’ve been running for about a year and half, my legs are in no way looking like a runner’s legs. I think I was built to be a speed skater. This is all for today.
