Local office candidate filing is open across the Commonwealth. Running for office might seem daunting, but your neighbors need representatives who share their values.
We can help you navigate the process. Kentucky needs more Democratic leaders in office.

I have far exceeded the amount of "gown" any person should be attempting to pack into a 20" carry-on suitcase in addition to the rest of my clothes for a three day weekend.
I should probably leave the glittery gown behind and add a jacket or a sweater or another pair of sensible shoes. 🫤

The class project that I spent 11 hours writing yesterday and another 4-5 hours writing today has been submitted.
Point value of the project that ate my entire weekend? 20 points.
Point value of the weekly discussion board post that is also due today? 20 points. 😒
I guess I should do that now.

I need a hookup from GE for a couple of commercial washers and dryers. Wrangling cantankerous machines is the only thing I dislike about volunteering.

My neighbors are having some sort of electronic/metal rave type party. They did one of these last year, and this year they've added fun event tents. Festive.

Please enjoy this ~1598 engraving by Theodor de Bry depicting the port of Acapulco with a fleet of Manila galleons dominating the image. At the back of the scene you can see mule trains bringing silver from the horrible Potosí mines, off on a journey via Manila to China.

7/16ths done... progress is happening.
I have approximately 3/16ths of this damn paper written. Focus is not my friend today. This is one of those rare days I do in fact miss nicotine.
I've been working very hard since 6am on thinking about starting my paper. Maybe if I keep thinking about it until noon...
