Yesterday I got my errands and chores done and rested up for today. We had over 10,000 visits yesterday! This morning I co-facilitate a therapy group for former prisoners. Doing it is very fulfilling, but when I’m done, getting back to the bus line takes a four block walk up a steep hill that kicks my butt. I’ll be useless for the rest of the day.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 4:21 (average 4:49). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From BBC: Japan is to decommission four stricken reactors at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, the operator says.
The cost will be staggering financially and already is environmentally.
From NECN: The Oregon Senate voted Tuesday to allow some illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at Oregon public universities.
Its not right to punish students who were brought here illegally, when they had nothing to do with it. Bravo Oregon!
From Think Progess: Speaking at an Iowa homeschool event, Paul told the crowd that “in principle, nullification is proper and moral and constitutional.” “That is why,” Paul declared, “I am a strong endorser of the nullification movement, that states like this should just nullify these laws”.
Given the opportunity, Paul would return us to Jim Crow laws.

3:30 😀 I’m 29 out of 89 (326).
And another good chance for you today.
It’s a shame about the plant, but I’m more concerned for those people.
Go Oregon!
Nullification of what laws?
There are so many GOP contenders coming out of the woodwork – they are like roaches. I’ve never even heard of half these people.
Good point, Lisa.
Amen.
Things like Voting rights and Brown v Board of Education.
Lisa, that’s unfair, What do you have against roaches to make such a vile comparison? 🙄
