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.

You know, I was thinking that too, but then in the description of the measure it said it would bring us in line with decriminalization measures in effect ~12 other states.

From somewhere online:

Marijuana has already been decriminalized in 11 other states. Most of those laws were passed in the 1970s...

Really? I feel so uninformed. :-/

Apparently no results are in yet for California's Prop 8, which is the last thing now that has me worried.
