Watch and read enough weather reports, and you start to feel like the bad weather is happening right outside.
I blame Obama.
Ironically, there was a news story that says that, indeed, voters blame the incumbent for natural disasters!
We're just monkeys, I tell you.

O.K. Ready to watch those exciting last 3 games of the World Series.
Wait. What?

So, I'm thinking. Thank goodness we don't have hurricanes around here. Or tornadoes.
Then -- I read something that said the closest parallel to Sandy was the Columbus Day storm in Oregon in 1962. A typhoon mixing with a winter storm.

Linda lived in Crescent City. She said they were pounded by three years worth of natural disasters -- floods, earthquake tsunami's and the Columbus Day storm.

Not that Walden was in any danger, but when the Bulletin's headline is: "Walden Ad Lists Accomplishments" you have to wonder if that is editorial or news.

Still have some research to do on voting.
I tend to consolidate the Oregonian, Bulletin and Source recommendations, filter it through my political leanings, and make my best guess.
Straight Democratic. I'm talking more about measures and judges, etc.
I used to count on me Mum about those things, because she was heavily involved in the League of Women Voters and they were usually spot on in their recommendations. Maybe I can find that online.
Going to vote in the next few days, make sure it gets in in plenty of time.
