Saturday morning reading
I spent yesterday putting away the fall decorations and Christmasing the house. There was no way I was getting anywhere near a mall. The outside lights are now up, the inside pretty well done (we always get a fresh tree, so that'll be in another couple of weeks). Siobhan will be coming down from college December 16 and Edward flying in from Oregon December 18th. We are going to have a housefull for Christmas!
Are you an Extreme Christmas decorator? Is your front yard filled with animated reindeers or inflatable snowmen? Do you cover your roof with so many lights that pilots think you might be the local airport? Well, if you aren't one at least you can look at some here. Great site with 2005 submissions already being listed.
In the 2004 Prop 66, which would have gutted CA's 3 strikes law, was defeated at the last moment. Patterico has read the Son of Prop 66, a new attempt to "reform" Prop 66 and points out the similarities and differences this go-around. For background, here's my post on 66 from last year. Color me suspicious of this new attempt at "reform."
In case you missed it earlier, Mrs. Smash has a plethora of links of milblogs offering their thanks for this holiday weekend.
Jeff Harrell alternates between Scrooge and Mel Gibson's "Nick Marshall" in a post about Mary Katharine Ham's [insane] trip to the mall on Black Friday. Me, I'm all about the Christmas cheer, but when Jeff says things like:
God bless that girl. As Tiny Tim observed, "Pass me the fucking cranberries before I fork you in the eye."Damn, gotta love him more!
And don't forget the update on the US Postal Stamp post.
