Thoughts? Well, we will still be counting ballots until 4/12 or so due to our ridiculous primary and general election rules that allow mail in ballots to be accepted and counted up to a week after election day! However, most races have been essentially “called” and I want to provide some commentary on the results…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

My first hotel experience in Lapu Lapu City was the Crown Regency Hotel. I will be comparing it, in part, with my visit last year. The Crown Regency is an older hotel along a main road in Lapu Lapu City. Per the elevator buttons, it has ten floors. It has a small swimming pool and…

According to German television, Osama bin Laden was taken out by a 24th Century terrorist group called the Marquis. This amazing story was first carried by TrekMovie.com and then reported by CNET (a wholly owned subsidiary of CBS news).

The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians has the casino on Interstate 5 near Corning.…

The convention is now over. Celeste Greig was re-elected along with the rest of her slate. The important Bylaws Amendments were not even discussed. The Sunday session was rather tame compared with the previous day’s festivities. Litigation plans were clearly well underway and something will probably be filed tomorrow. The biggest looser from the convention…

The contentious CRA convention began today with a visit from the Sacramento Police Department. Apparently fisticuffs broke-out when some folks that were not credentialed tried to force their way into the delegate meeting’s morning session. About 125 people were not seated by the Credentials Committee. After many false starts, the Committee met last night to…

Update My initial comments on this matter were based on this release from Restore the CRA. Moments ago in a Sacramento courtroom, the judge granted a Temporary Restraining Order against Celeste Grieg, George and Aaron Park, Tom Hudson, Craig Alexander and their assorted minions prohibiting them from using the “policy” passed by the Board at…
