hello-do-de-oh again, its time for some more zydeco music
But first let me stop and gloat re yesterday's election: everybody and everything I voted for won, everybody and everything I voted against lost. Everything stayed the same--thats a win when you live in an almost perfect state. Same scorecard: Governor-D, both Houses-D controlled but strengthened, All State Offices but one-D Both Senators-D, 4 out of 5 Congresspeople-D. All the bad initiatives shot down, the good one passed. Its all good. God I love living in Oregon. Legal weed, doctor assisted suicide, people to fill your gas tank and an almost all blue state--what's not to like?
Today its Wayne Toups and Zydecajun, enjoy.
