A few random Thursday thoughts

I'm taking tomorrow off to use what's called use-or-lose vacation time. Even though I don't want to lose time off, I feel uneasy about being off work - so much to do!

I plan to wander around the avant garde North Shore tomorrow. Perhaps I'll get a tattoo...

One of the things they do here strikes me as a bit odd as electioneering and campaigning goes. Supporters stand on the sides of the streets and highways holding "Vote for Joe" signs and waving at traffic in the early mornings. I don't see them in the afternoons.

The past two mornings, the supporters for the two mayoral candidates have been out at one of the major intersections I have to drive through. As I sat in the left turn lane this morning, the supporter for Anne Kobayashi made a lot of efforts to get my attention. I was not in the mood to wave and whoop, and besides, I'M voting for Mayor Mufi, the incumbent. I somehow resisted the temptation to roll down the window and yell that since she struck me as the type to hit me with the sign...

Well, I need to plan my outing! More later...
