Yesterday's rain has turned into black ice on roads and back steps.  Sun should remedy shortly.

Appears that the sovereign voters of Maine, in their infinite wisdom, have refused the Indians' attempt to set up a slot machine parlor on the Canadian border.  This despite the White Folks already running one in Bangor.  I note with some wry amusement that the CasinosNO! group is based in Portland, about as far as you can get from the Passamaquoddy Tribal Poverty Pocket and still remain in Maine...

Maine voters also vetoed a proposal to extend "term limits" from a maximum of eight consecutive years to twelve.  Me, I'm in favor of execution of office-holders at the end of  term, sorta like the Old Ways.
