Heating up for November

The weather here in ht Twin Cities is very warm dry this summer, but I think that is just a preview of what the next 3 months of political bullshit will bring us. Already we have dingle-berry running for Senate who says he crosses party lines when needed, but toes the Republican line on taxing and spending. Last I checked, the GOP wanted to tax the middle class to pay for a made up war on terrorism, with most of the proceedes going to military contractors with heavy political ties. Then there is the lady on TV who tells us she is qualified for the Senate because she will even put members of her of her own party (Democrat) in jail.

It reminds me of something I read once, I don't remember who wrote it, but it kinda makes sense to me: "The fact that someone willingly seeks public office should be enough to disqualify them from being elected." That is probably the best critque of our current political status.

Anyway, more pics from around town. That picnic shelter with the chimney is on the State Hospitl grounds, and that stone structure is jus below the dam. Both visible from the trail along the river
