The Update for Everybody Else

Just had the thought that my license plate number is fairly close to one that would be awful for me to have: CTW 123.  Here's a clue as to why.  When I was five years old I insisted that people stop calling me Ernie.

I am not pleased with the program my public radio station has chosen to replace the now discontinued Talk of the Nation.  Not that the Diane Rehm Show is a bad show, but it is grating to hear the host and guests refer to what is being talked about "this morning" on a show that is being aired in the afternoon.  (2pm to 4pm).

I ended up defending Jim DeMint of all people during lunch today. One of the people at the table I was seated at stated during my church's monthly potluck that his abandoning his Senate seat for the much better paying presidency of The Heritage Foundation was an example of the corruption to be found in public service these days. I disagreed with that since while I generally don't agree with DeMint's views I don't think he's chosen them because of any financial considerations. He also stated he thought legislators were under a moral obligation to finish their terms of office.  It would be nice, yet I think DeMint was not under any more moral obligation to serve to the end of his Senate term than Barrack Obama was.

I'm largely in favor of drug legalization, but every so often I'm reminded that it would have its problems.

Went with my sister to my mother's church on the anniversary of my mother's passing away yesterday.  She wanted to go visit the grave and as it is the fourth Sunday, I needed to visit an alternate church anyway. (The church does not have a graveyard, but my parents are buried in that town.  The saddest part of the trip was unexpected.  We signed the visitor's book in the lobby and we happened to be the first to do so in over two years.  Granted, the town hasn't been a hotbed of economic growth (which is one reason mom's house is slow to sell) but still, you'd think they'd have more visitors than that.
