For those who didn’t pay attention in Civics class, in this nomination process can you just write anyone in? Are there names on the ballots? Is there a place to find information on said names before going and casting a ballot?

Weather has all my greens popping off so I’m eating collards for days over here.

My day is lazy so I’ll post about yesterday. Did my first walk through of VMFA and holy shit what a gem. If you haven’t been in awhile do a walk through if you have some free time. My highlights were as follows:

2 pairs of Sumerian earrings, somewhere between 4000-5000 years old. Oldest man made objects I’ve seen in person. Found my new favorite painting, “The Vanity of Arms” by Jan van Kessel. I’m no artist and my art history is pretty touristy, but discovered a newfound appreciation for German expressionism (specifically Heckel). Making fun of old Renaissance era Aristocrats and how stupid they look. I found the studio contributions to be very cool as well, just reaffirming how much awesome talent is in this city.

Red and white Dutch clover is “naturalized”. There are 3 native clover to the area and they are kind of rare. (Don’t quote me, I’m semi drunk and going off memory, not a botanist). No grass that people plant in their lawns is native, and it is all very taxing on the soil. There are native grasses but lawns are not how they live in the wild. Clover>grass

7:30 you might have to wait in a line but it should move quick if seated as there is a smaller capacity for seated events. You have a bit to grab beers and by the time you’re seated it’ll be around a 5-10 minute wait till showtime.

Update: Unfortunately I have another male dog heading this way for dog sitting time so I couldn’t hold onto this dude. Fortunately RACC just came by and scanned him and he has a chip. He has departed from my control.

If this is your dog and you’re reading this…get this boy fixed!

Edit, meant to post this as a comment and not a reply

I’m close enough to hear concerts. I hear random music sometimes, but once I was sitting in my backyard and said “damn, that sounds like a live snare drum I wonder who’s at RIR” and it was fuckin Ringo Starr.
