Spectacular sunrise this morning.

Kitty is being a yo-yo. Wants in, wants out, wants in, wants out....
Winter must be coming, her fur has thickened into a fabulously soft glossy coat.

I got nothing. As you can tell.

Honestly, I don't understand why a state House seat would generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign money. Really? A state representative has that much influence? Can affect things that much?
What does it pay, by the way. Minimum wage? (Googled it: 1800.00 a month -- slightly above minimum wage.)
So its, What?, not a whole lot less than half a million dollars raised among the three candidates for a state representative job?
Like being a city councilor, it seems like a thankless job.
**********
Contractors hire foreign workers with Stimulus money?
Kind of begs the question, doesn't it. Why hire foreign workers if you can hire Americans if you are going to pay the same?
Do they work harder? Easier to control?
We are so fucked....

Linda gave me a little book, A Manual for Living, by the philosopher Epictetus. "This sounds like what you're always saying," she says.
Reading it, I'm gobsmacked. It IS EXACTLY what I'm always saying, right down the line.
I wish Mom was alive so I could ask her if she had read the book and passed along it's thoughts. She talked about Stoic philosophers a lot, and Epictetus is considered a Stoic philosopher, so I think the chances are pretty good.
It can't be a coincidence -- it's just too much straight down the line the way I think....

Saw a documentary on FACEBOOK on Cnbc last night, with the 'Winklevi' and Eduardo and Zuckerberg and Sean Parker. Uncanny similarity to the characters in The Social Network -- which makes the movie more believable -- if they got that right, maybe they got some of the rest right.
Maybe not.
