January in Eastern Washington

The blessings of the winter snow has arrived in Eastern Washington this month. I know some of the rest of you are thinking, "Big deal." I'm just glad that as loan cosigner I have driving privileges for Millie's nice 4WD truck. It sure has come in handy when I had to break trail for the morning paper route.

I managed to attend the reorganization meetings of my county and legislative district Democratic party committees. And I was successful at avoiding assignment to any onerous duties. (For a perspective, our Democratic party meetings are typically smaller than church business meetings. You get the picture.) This means I can continue to push my favorite agendas through proxies and by persuasion without having to be publicly responsible for the results. It won't be long before these people wise up to this and make me do some real work.

Austin made it back to Provo in good order. And I'm still trying to find a new home for a people-friendly blue heeler. When Teri's house sells I'm going to end up with their dog and this house and yard is just not big enough for two dogs. We have had two offers on the house that failed to arrive at a satisfactory price and we still have lots of people looking at it. So we are sticking to our guns so far.

Mitch and Claudia are doing all that wedding planning stuff for their April wedding. I just try to stay clear of that as much as possible.
