ANC
I'm on the ballot. I have one person running against me. He just graduated university and bought a house. I think if I concentrate on the people in my apartment complex -- most of whom are poor -- I have a shot at winning. Money will be tough.

ANC
I have my temporary DC Driver's License. I have made certain my voter registration is current.
I picked up my petitions to get on the ballot for ANC, and I already have 12 valid signatures (and 7 invalid ones). I need 25 valid signatures total before 5 pm on Wednesday (which, by the way, is 90 days to the election).
Wish me luck. -

If anyone has a solution, please let me know. -
I'm Real
That was my first thought when I got my new passport. My last one expired three years ago, and I hadn't had it renewed yet. For some reason, it felt like a weight lifting from my shoulders to have it in hand again. -
The Daily Show - Donald Trump's Shady Ties to Russia
“Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw.
It was its tendency to bend at the knees.”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
Sadly, after last week's convention, that's what I see in many supporters of Trump.
Would that it weren't true. -
Still on the Somme
There is a performance art piece happening all over Britain today. On Twitter the hashtag WeAreHere will find people's reactions. There's an article on it in The Guardian.
It's been a weepy day.
