I’m going to be traveling (already started a bit), and I expect to spend a lot of the summer playing with cars. During any downtime, read some more mystery and history books.
If I’m in town, occasionally lift a few beverages with some friends locked out by the State if it comes to that.
I will be watching the regular posters here get all crazed because the governor is actually trying to do what he said he’d do. This is a novel concept in these parts! Watching the beneficiaries of the status quo squirm when threatened is fun.
Livin for the weekends. ….wait with the way things are going everyday could be the weekend….gotta stock up while I got some change jigglin in my pocket.
Write a treatment about a wealthy man running and winning the Governirship of a big state and how his staff is continually putting out or lighting fires.
It’s a comedy.
Watch it get turned down dozens of times as unrealistic…
Pull a chair up to the TV and breathlessly await the stunning ads from the governor. Because I just didn’t enough of them before the election. Not!

I plan to help Bruce pass his ballot initiative that takes away voting rights from any one that makes less than $100,000 a year. Poor people deserve no rights whatsoever.
Bringing Governor Rauner to the community I work for and asking him,”do you really want to take away those community funds, after seeing how badly they are needed?”
Wonderin’ whether Rauner can find his $18 dollar watch to wear in his ads, wishin’ he would instead use the $30,000,000 to pay some state bills instead of givin’ it to ad agencies.
