Just Voting in the Rain.

By Norm Seeley | March 9, 2010

There was a Municipal Election today in Scottsdale, citizens were to vote on changes in the city charter and should there be an increase the “Transient Lodging Tax, from 3 to 5 percent.

When we got to the school, or normal poling place, it was raining hard, and we could see no signs saying that it was where we were to vote. There was one sign supporting the Proposition that would increase the “TLTax” but that was it.

We drove into the parking lot, saw a few cars but nothing more. The gates in the fences that surrounded the school were all closed. And it was hard to see through the red fences to see the normal red voting signs that usually are there.

Now, the school itself was close, no school, so we thought that because of that the voting was being held at another location. We went home, got out the Office Ballot and sure enough the school we had gone to was where we were to have voted.

I called the city and a very nice person even called the county, who is in charge of voting to see if it was open. She was told it was, signs were out, and people were voting.

So to make the story short, we went back.

There were not signs.

It was still hard to see that any part of the school was open.

Found a gate and the end of the fence and parked our van illegally to be close enough for Karen to get in without getting wet.

Passed three Ducks who were walking between the fence and the building, and quaking with each step. They apparently were upset too, that they weren’t allowed to vote either.

I opened the door and there inside it was a voting place. We told them that the signs were not out front where they could be seen.

The pictures below are as we left. See if you can make out a sign that makes it clear that this indeed was a place to vote.

I know, according to the County it’s not supposed to rain on election day.

If we had just had the internet.

By Norm Seeley | March 6, 2010

Yesterday I told you about a couple of my friends from growing up in Denver. It was here, in my blog, A Couple. You can look at it if you want.

Had we had the Internet back then, we didn’t even have computers, I could have suggested that they look at www.severeacne.org . I didn’t say anything to them back then, and as I’m typing this blog, I was wondering how I would work that into a conversation.

I know, I would have invited them over to see my computer, and just happen to have that site up on the screen when they came over.

A Couple.

By Norm Seeley | March 5, 2010

There were a couple of friends I knew growing up in Denver who needed prescription acne medication .

I didn’t know for sure if they did or didn’t use it, cause I never asked. Just didn’t think that was to cool for me to do.

In my opinion, I thought it was best for me to just except them for how they treated me and the two that I am thinking of, were very nice to me. They both included me when they did thing at school and away from school as well.

That was enough for me.

Oh Where Oh Where is Senator Brown?

If you are from Mass, and you wondered where Senator Brown was today, he’s here in Arizona representing you…I guess.

New Chair.

By Norm Seeley | March 5, 2010

This afternoon, Jerry, a friend from our church came over to help with a new chair that has been sitting out on our patio for at least two weeks.

I don’t think that it came from Minka Aire , but who knows, it could have.

Karen and I purchased it used, because my chair in our living room broke down a couple months ago. Even though I put a board under the seat, it didn’t help so a replacement was needed, big time.

Any way, if you follow normradio, you know that I have been having physical problems and lifting things like furniture is not a good idea. So with Jerry’s help, he did most of the work, we were able to get the new chair cleaned and moved into the Living Room.

I guess the reason it went so smoothly was Karen was there to supervise the two of us MEN.

Way Back Then.

By Norm Seeley | March 5, 2010

As a teenager, I thought many times about the best acne treatment . No, I really didn’t have an acne problem, but I guess my mind would tell me that if I kept drinking all the Cokes that I did, it would be a problem.

So with this in mind, I would say to myself, “Self, you need to stop drinking Cokes, today.”

I have to tell you, just like today, my response 9 times out of 10, would be, not today. That was all I would think about it, until the next time I felt I might have a problem.

In those days I was skinny, so I didn’t worry about the weight factor. Today that’s a concern, so the odds have changed and I listen to myself more.
