Where in the world is Squatty San Diego?
Saturday, November 15, 2008 at 08:10PM Look, I know. I haven't posted a damn thing in ten days. I offer my heartfelt contrition to the hundreds of millions of people who check this site daily and look for inspiration. I have a bunch of excuses. None of them are any good, but they are totally true.
After the election, I got so caught up in how amazingly different everything will be now that we are going to have the other large, establishment party in office. It was so mind-blowing, that Mrs Squatty and I needed to experience it from the other coast: Vegas, Sacramento, San Fran, Napa, Seattle. Major left coast action.
We got to Seattle just in time for me to wonder what the point is of having Prop 8 protests in another state. Actually, I'm not really sure what the point is of having protests in California either. It's not like it was some law set up by the government. It was a proposition; the people themselves voted on it. Protesting the outcome of a referendum vote is like pissing in the sink because you're mad at the toilet: it won't fix anything, and none of it makes any damn sense.
So, anyway, I'm up $20 from Vegas, I got to see yet another state house (California's), and spent about 90% of my time in San Fran walking uphill both ways. We're leaving tomorrow and, to be honest, I'm not sick of living out of hotels. Living out of hotels is a perfect excuse to run up your credit card bill eating like a pig.
I mean, I'm traveling with my wife. What exactly am I supposed to miss about Baltimore? Ok, fine. I really miss the light rail. Happy?
I'll tell you what though. I'd better get back to the right coast. What major news is being swept under the rug right now without my watchful eye? Well, the CEO of Amtrak heave-hoed his own self.
