Local Politics

We had ~10% turnout in our city commission primary. Whoooooh. Fucking Kobach.

Everyone I voted for made the cut for the general, so that's nice. I suspect both of the incumbents will keep their seats, which means one of my choices probably won't get elected in the general. I hope Stumblingbear gets a seat, he's been the one taking affordable housing the most seriously thus far.

Reading

I'm now 30% of the way through Wealth of Nations. I get why no one reads this now. It's inconvenient. Both from a length perspective, and from our popular notions of what it says versus what it actually says.

Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil is also short and good. It is balancing out Wealth nicely. I have mixed feelings about these matte paperback book covers, though. Some of them hold up fine, but some of 'em (thinking about my copy of Land of Lisp here) hold up like shit.

Union

Trying to come up with suggestions for the contract negotiation suggestion meeting this weekend. So far, everything I have is stuff they won't want to hear: that is, stuff that would require active involvement on their part, not passive benefits. I.e. stuff to grieve when the company violates it.

Bread

My sourdough starter is... done. Tried sleeping it in the fridge while it was so hot out, but then I forgot about it. Tastes off now.

Oh well, they mostly just cost time to start. Maybe I'll get that mill soon.
