The Furious Spinner

I have so much library work to do. Plus it's almost sunny outside so I should go out for a walk or start work on my garden. And there's always the rewrite of Church of the Old Mermaids or I could start a post about my hikes in the forest this weekend. But instead I'm sitting at this computer reading too much stuff and doing meaningless research on stuff I don't really need to know! Sound familiar? I go for my pre-op tomorrow and my ear has been bothering me for a couple days, so I'm distracted by all that.

However, I did find a map that I liked. First I looked at the red and blue map of the United States. Depressing as hell, plus I wondered how accurate it is. I don't think the electoral college voting results represent the reality of our country. We’re not that black and white in our thinking, or red and blue. (Although I see the value of the electoral college: it gives the people in less densely populated states a say in their federal government and ostensibly protects us from some whacko; however, if those in the less populated states want to elect a whacko, they can. Evidence: our last two elections. But that's another discussion.) Anyway, I found another map that I like better. I think I've linked to it before, but here it is again. Ahhhhh. Much better.

Now I'm outta here. 0 comments
