Life is good, even in mundane times
So, it's another night-before-another-family-and-friends-get-together at my place, and my Best-Beloved and I spent the day rushing around doing grocery shopping, house-cleaning, and the like. After a much-needed one hour break (in the pool), we got back to work.

I don't know all that much about the campaigning in the States, but I like what I've been hearing about Obama. That's one thing I like about Canada - waaay less conservative in general.
Which isn't to say there aren't conservative people, it just seems like they're far less vocal. They just gave an Order of Canada to Dr. Henry Morgentaler, who was a pretty vital person for the pro-choice laws up here, and the conservatives only response was "Well, we'd have preferred to see this award go to someone who really unified Canada, but oh well...".
:( I'm really hoping that hurricane settles down. I hear they're evacuating New Orleans.

If only the US conservatives could be half as reasonable as their Canadian counterparts. I got this line from Dee-chan, who gakked it from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:
"[Michelle Obama's] got to [prove her Patriotism]: she's a Democrat. She must prove she loves America, as opposed to Republicans, who everyone knows love America - they just hate half the people living in it." ~Jon Stewart
Too true!
In other news, the evacuation of New Orleans is near complete. Even better, Gustav has downgraded at the moment to a Category Three hurricane. Hopefully, it will end up being not such a big deal, and nobody will get hurt.

We don't get those, but we certainly get snow. Last winter was a doozy.
This is what my house looked like last January:

And yes, luckily we dodged a bullet with Gustav. Now if only the rest of hurricane season is merciful to our Southern states.
