A different world down here...

In the paper today they had a comparison of the views of presidential candidates on things. On gun control, Clinton came in rather vague with "Law abiding citizens should be able to have guns but more (the "more" isn't specified) should be done to keep them out of the hands of criminals:". Obama weighs in with the most extreme gun control measures...limiting the purchase of one hand gun a month. Status quo for all the Republicans.

The other day in the paper there was a big whine about the cooler and wetter weather than normal at the moment. They are horrified at having .68 inches of rain so far this month and another 1/10 to 1/4 of rain predicted for this weekend. We haven't seen any rain yet although the mountains seem to have received quite a bit as there are green things sprouting where there is usually just rock or snow. I'll have to take a photo today...may not last long.
