Pete's BLOG-Day 26,404. Relief tomorrow.

Today is Monday, March 4, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 45 minutes of walking = 2.5 miles for a March total of 7.5 miles.
My weight was 163.4 pounds.

QUOTE from Jim Doyne: "He who toots his own horn has everybody dodging him."

My THOUGHTS today: THERE WILL BE RELIEF TOMORROW. We endured
political ads for two years in 2011 and 2012 - and now, for the last 2-3  months we've
had to watch "vote yes" or "vote no" ads. The "vote yes" ads want people to vote FOR a casino in Cedar Rapids and "vote no" ads want the opposite. The ads have been
constant and sickening and nearly as vicious and bitter as the political ads we endured
for two years or more. The vote is only for residents of Linn County - so I can't vote. If I did vote I would vote NO because I feel Iowa already has enough casinos. I think there are 18 casinos in Iowa already - we don't need anymore. Plus people in
Linn County can already go to eight casinos within a 45 to 90 minute drive.
So the vote is tomorrow. If the people vote yes then the State Gaming Board would
have to approve a license - and that is not a sure thing. If the people vote no then
another vote cannot be held for 8 years. I hope it fails - but the polls show it may pass
by a slim margin.

HUMOR for today: Keeping your chin up also keeps your mouth closed.
