Hi Kossacks.
It's been awhile, no? Do you even remember me? That's ok- things have been busy lately, I understand.
I've been pretty busy as well- juggling family time, mandatory unpaid overtime, and the minutiae of life.
Posts have been half-written, saved off as a draft, and not revisited for many months. Maybe soon I will find the time to publish them. But probably they will languish until I hit the "delete" button, as they no longer have relevance to present discussions.
On another note, as an Arizonan, I find hope in the fact that our purple state is officially in toss-up mode. But also sadness that our state legislature has decided to fulfill the demands of the John Birch Society on everything from a perceived UN plot (sustainability) to birth control coverage denial.
I'm actually pretty excited about this year's election. I've signed up to help Rich Carmona win our blown-wide-open Senate seat (you can too! Sign up to help Rich here!), and look forward to seeing who gets the nod to take on Trent Franks... who I have the "pleasure" of having a district with again (can't a guy catch a break?!). With a smaller district though, Trent may have a bit more of a challenge on his hands- he's lost the Mohave County rabid wingers (where he made his infamous birther and slavery comments), so maybe a more "Mainstreet" Republican could prevail (at 60-40, a Dem has hardly any chance).
So, I'll be seeing you all around, not necessarily with any great frequency, but perhaps with a bit more than I have this past few months.
Cheers!
