Yes, we could! Yes, we did!

Dinner with an old friend and a President-elect Obama... yes, just what I needed. :D

Also: Massachusetts voters today approved a ballot initiative to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, making getting caught with less than an ounce of pot punishable by a civil fine of $100.

I'm thinking about going down to DC for the inauguration. The friends we had dinner with live fairly close and are planning to go stand on Pennsylvania Ave in person. But that's for later... for now I must peel the "I voted" sticker off my shirt and go to sleep. As I do so, www.fivethirtyeight.com/ hasn't been wrong about a single state so far... impressive.

As I write this, 538 has still not been wrong, but they're going to turn out to have been wrong in Indiana, which is breaking for Obama.

My biggest problem with the inauguration (besides, how the hell many tickets will be available?) is that all my friends in the D.C. area are severe libertarians (one of whom told me earlier today...er, yesteryday...that he's afraid of Obama), so that might put a blemish on the rose. Anyway, I already told Cthat inauguration tickets are on my Xmas list.

And a_kosmos, it wasn't strictly an anti-cruelty initiative, but rather a ban racing on the premise that it's cruel initiative. It passed.
