Aww, How Cute!

Late Autumn 2008

We are almost two-thirds into the fall season, and unlike the Arizona desert where I was born (and left at the age of 20), Northern California has the traditional four seasons. For the most part. Today's temperature reached 80 degrees, and Saturday's forecast calls for more of the same. Heck, the town of Napa almost hit 90 degrees today! We're breaking records here.

We really need some rain (and snow in the mountains), but other than that, I'm not complaining. I'm gonna don my leathers and go riding!

Yes On Prop 8

The California ballot had a proposition to overturn the recently approved decision to allow gay marriages in the state. The title of this post is a bit misleading, since I am indifferent on this issue. I have and had friends who are gay, and if they want to get hitched, so what? I'm straight, single (always have been and probably always will be) and non-religious. The people of California have spoken, and the majority do not believe in same-sex marriage, so what's with all the protesting by the "No On 8" proponents and their efforts to overturn the vote? You mean to tell me that I can raise a ruckus for decisions that weren't voted in my favor?

Now that I have a problem with... that and Gavin Newsom.
