I was listening to part of the Democratic presidential candidates' Q & A on NPR on the way into work. It's a pity Bill Richardson wasn't a part of it; I had wanted to hear some more about him. As it stood, Obama and Kucinich returned the best answers regarding the section I was listening to (it was on our relationship with China). Edwards, unfortunately, seemed a bit equivocal about the matter. Kucinich had some tough talk, but not only did it smack a little of hot air, it seemed to me to evince a desire on his part to go backward instead of forward with our relations with China.

In other words, the Democrats, as usual, were sort of all over the map. If only they could get their act together.

I'd caution people away from "no matter what" or "no matter what anyone says" or "I always X , Y, Z." type thinking. Closes your mind off to any new ideas or thoughts. We all could be wrong about something we thought we had figured out. Just about any idea is open to later revision. The interests and thinking processes should expand with time not get more narrow.

Who to vote for? Not sure yet. Way to many factors involved. I think people spend more time thinking about a new CD than they do a new president. I'd hold off making a final decision until i can absorb as much info as possible, and with so much out there, that means right up until very close to the wire. Unless you have some personal single-issue that only one candidate will push through. Which in that case I'd try to suggest thinking about whats best for the country/world as a whole rather than whats best for "me". (obviously still an opinion, but an opinion with a less personal focus)

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
