Future-Three: I Have Also Been Thinking About the Future

The year 2003 (also known as Future-Three) proves to be a year of change for me. A right-winger got elected to run my state. Of course, this not only pissed me off as a far left progressive but it also made my husband lose his job. Those capitalist bastards (i.e. republicans) are gonna pay.

When Lich-Ehr got elected, my first thought was "Flee! Flee right away." Living under a Republican is never fun… unless you're rich & trying to evade paying taxes. But, against my better judgment, Grandpa and I are still here. Just like we're still here even though Bush took office. Maybe we're gluttons for punishment; maybe we just can't let the righties take over without some opposition.

So, aside from grumbling to the TeeVee or to area newspaper boxes, what am I doing in Future-Three?

Knitting - so far I've finished 8 scarves, a pair of socks, and a pair of baby booties for a future astronaut. Soon to come…a sweater, some hats, and more socks

Protesting shit - see commentary on Iraq protest

Reading things that make me irate, followed by something that will help me chill

Staging a comeback for Bigfoot at Evil Robots. Wait. Take that back. Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years….
