Hey everyone. As many of you know, I was a full on Election 2006 political junkie. I really got into reading about the "hot" races and reading the polls daily. I even printed out a list of the races and put checks and minuses next to those that I thought would win and lose. On Election Night, I had both a blue and red Sharpe to mark the returns.
Two days before election night, I entered the Predict06 online pool as a member of Swing State Project and made my predictions. Some of you may remember that post.*
I didn't win the pool, but when I checked back today, they had posted a list of the top 50 best prognosticators in the Swing State Project pool. I came in 17th out of the 171 members! I came in 25th overall out of the 2313 who participated.
*If you have the stomach for it, you can visit the anonymous detractor who also left their predictions in the comments.

Happy Birthday Felix & Oscar!
Felix and Oscar are 1 today. They got extra hugs and chased around a moth. It doesn't get much better than that.
Oscar and Felix last Tuesday: Stalwarts of Democracy

For the Nature Lovers
Today, I did something that I've wanted to do since we moved here:
I hiked up the hill that majestically pokes outta the ground in back of our house. It looks far, but its not. It's also not a plateau as it appears. Its actually a ridge the rings another small valley. The day was perfect for hiking. 65, cold wind, and no snakes. Here is what it looks like from the top.
The arrow indicates where our house is. Click on it to see more clearly.
I also found some lovely brain poop, possibly a relative of brain corral.

One last political post before the big day
Besides the principle reasons that I don't vote republican, there are the dirty tricks that republicans employ that compel me to donate both time and money to the opposition party. (And no, the shit they pull in the link above is NOT something that both sides do, you cynic, you.)
For you political junkies out there, you can make your own predictions about the House and Senate races over at Swing State. I've made mine. The winner of this multiple person pool gets a free massage, some meth, and some inappropriate sexual conduct.

Oh, and by the way, VOTE!
