Be Informed....
Well, we are now in the political campaign season. I remmeber the counting of the votes for the last election-- I was visiting my sister in Florida, and they kept flashing to the West Palm Beach election officials throuhg the day. They started out in full suits, but each time they appeared on TV, a tie was gone, then the coat. It was as if the burden of the entired national election had been put on their shoulders. It later struck me they should have been dressed as knights, or Centurion Romans. The elections are approaching--- please be informed-- get information from good sources (public broadcasting, reputable internet sites),read, register and vote. Even is someone is a bit too young to vote, no one is ever too young to be aware of what's going on in the world. Fancy slogans, cute songs, etc don't fool me, an old East Coaster, when it comes to news, I am a cynic, and suspicious! A friend sets up a card table at the canyon shopping plaza with petitions regarding local issues (schools, utilities etc) Most people think that's not very exciting stuff, but you'll probably never forget how a referendum on garbage pick up effects you! Well, the Peanut Gallery is restless-- and Vash whines again as it is about supper time
(Vash: Mamma, if you dont feel like cooking, aren't there any donuts? And where are those peaches?)
Mamma: The donuts are at the store, and the peaches are on the tree--- where you forgot to get either!)

Oh, well -- kind of a warm day, with a busy week. This is the kind of day for TV, and anime and manga. I found 2 new ones--Aria, about Mars as a water planet with pretty art, and Immortal Rain== both neat manga. Well, I had 2 hand treatments this week, so today I completed a second sketch started a while back== Mamma Vash battling the paperwork monster-- hopefully it will be up tomorrow. Well, dusk is coming. Maybe pizza would be good---o_O the Peanut Gallery has stampeded out the door with Vash in the lead! Seriously, pizza goes good with anime.!

Ozy J== wishing you beautiful blinking fireflies in the night, Panda, wishing you a fluffy cloud pillow for good dreams, Novapup== love the magazine cover fanart-- its super! Silver Falcon, wishing you the fastest car on the NASCR circuit (with you at the steering wheel in your dreams, taking the flag!), Thrush Battersea, wishing you a trip to a beuatiful and open beach for just you, Milkycat== wishing the music of the celestial spheres so you and your special one can dance on air, cutietanuki--wishing you a happy party of many friends to celebrate the day, TAG== hope there is laughter in your world, Wolfy== still thinking about your art, and colorful phrases, Zen== keep writing, because you have much good to share, Kamiya Usagi== hoping that good surprises come your way, and Yami Loni-- keep on laughing and sharing with us all.

I'll try and post photos of the blankets as I finish (they're for a homeless program_

Love and peace to all my myO friends... you all have so much to give to others. Thank you for what you do.
