Corn

I guess I forgot to blog yesterday... I just got tired and went to bed.  To be sure, I had much to do -- finally sent out some mass SVDP emails, and of course I worked a bit late, and had some other things to do...so there we are.  I do have plenty of books to read, a couple of films that need to be watched this weekend... and of course the usual stuff to do.  Also, the bathroom is ready for a cleaning.  All it needs is for it to be dark and for me to wear sunglasses.  

I decided to do something new and went out to North Ridgeville for the Corn Festival tonight.  I had never been, and.... why not, right?  Off to have a summer of fun?  So I went.  I was able to navigate there fine, but I forgot about parking -- there really isn't any, and I ended up parking for $5 at the local Catholic Church (perfectly acceptable!) and hoofed it.  It was... nice but underwhelming?  The only corn foods they have are corn on the cob and Mexican street corn (which I avoided, for obvious reasons).  It was good, but at the end of the day... well, it's just sweet corn.  Otherwise, it is just another carnival -- lots of food vendors, booths of politicos and community organizations, that sort of thing.  Lots of people, which was nice, but it's basically in a city park, so it was a bit crowded.  Would I go back?  Maybe.  It was nice, but a bit of a hike.  On the other hand, it was...therapeutic to drive and get away from it all for a bit.

Furious voters are flooding lawmakers’ town halls. Republicans aren’t worried. - POLITICO
This could be me, but can't Republicans flood these things and defend the bill/ask questions that attack Democrats?  I am more than available to insult Dems and would do it for free, and I can assure you I have plenty of material.  I suspect there are other GOPers out there, as well.  Unless they are afraid of free-for-all between parties -- and I can assure the Holy Spirit is on our side, I just wonder what we are thinking...
