First Few Days of Unemployment

Well, Thursday was wierd, just hanging out playing x-box and watching T.V. On Friday I had to go downtown so I stopped by Monorail Espresso and hung out with my friends. Everyone commented on how strange it was to se me in street clothes, as opposed to my biking gear. I think that is one thing I will enjoy about not riding for work anymore: that is, not having to wear 'gear' anymore. I was never one of those guys who rode around all winter long in cotton, just to look punk-rock. But now I get to wear regular clothes.

Jessica and I are moving this month so being unemployed is actually good 'cause I can do a lot of the moving a day at a time, and I won't get bored. But I think next month may be a different story.

We're moving north to the Lake City area and this will be the first time in 13 years I will be living out of the city. I'm a little nervous about living so far out of the city because I think I'll feel cut-off. But I can ride to Greenlake and the U District is just a ride up Roosevelt Way. Plus, I'll be closer to Rick's, which may or may not be a good thing.

Republican Desperation

Now consider that the republicans have to know that the Democrats stand a very good chance of regaining the upper hand in both the House and the Senate in the up-coming elections. If this happens, the Democrats will have subpoena powers to compel the release of documents that will undoubtedly show the world exactly what kind of thuggery the republicans have been engaged in. The republicans have to know that impeachment procedures will be initiated in the Senate against President Bush for his crimes against, and lies to the American people. These things being true, I am very concerned about what the republicans will be willing to do (and what they are per...
