It's generally warmer in Boulder than here. And yes in the winter
too. CO gets 300 days of sun a year, which generally makes the
winters warmer. Though, definately not flatter. I mean there's part
of boulder that is flat, but half is mountainous. I lived 15 mins
south of there for 3 years. It's awesome, and I miss it. :)

Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today ordered that United States flags
throughout the state of Michigan and on Michigan waters be lowered in
honor of Michigan servicemen who lost their lives while on active duty
in Iraq. Flags will be lowered:

improvised explosive device detonated near his Bradley Fighting Vehicle
near Balad, Iraq. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry
Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson,
Colorado.
Tuesday, March 7, 2006 to honor Army Private First Class Allan A. Morr
of Byron. Army Pfc. Morr, 21, died February 22 when an improvised
explosive device detonated near his HMMWV during patrol operations in
Al Hawijah. He was assigned to the Army s 1st Battalion, 327th
Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division,
Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Flags should return to full-staff on Wednesday, March 8.

I would vote to re-elect Granholm based on her fiscal conservatism, and
her shift in stance on 2nd amendment issues.

I don't know if I'll vote for Granholm in the next election. As you
know, I tend strongly to vote for Republicans, but Granholm has been a
pretty good governor in my opinion.
I won't vote for her because of her patriotism. I presume any
reasonable political candidate is patriotic.

I think she has done a good job and deserves to be re-elected.

I'll vote for Granholm if I can forgive her for her "cool cities" talk
which inspired the city council of the town I live in to buy flags for
the lightposts that say "welcome to HIPsilanti"

Ooooh. YOu are moving to Ypsi? Welcome to the neighborhood. Here is a
page full of Ypsi links that you might find useful
http://community.livejournal.com/ypsilanti/profile#links
If you dont mind my asking, where in town are you moving? (I live on N.
Grove near Depot Town...or maybe since I live in Hipsilanti, that should
be Groove Rd)

I'll be in the Washtenaw/Golfside area... but will have to stay in AA first
for a few days [til the movers get my stuff up here]. Fortunately, I have
family near by.

I think it's a right snappy idea. When Kalamazoo got their "cool
cities" grant, they blew it on historic preservation and art galleries
and crap like that. They coulda had a bunch a banners proclaiming the
city "KOOLamazoo", but noooo...

Oh well, there you go - the problem was the *building*. Now we'll be all

Well, sure. Now the phrase "Abu Graib" will fade out of the public
consciousness, along with the negative connotations. It won't matter
that the abuses continue until and unless there is another leak. That
could be years.

Abu Ghairb was a military base but that stupid torture fiasco made it famously
known as Abu Ghairb Prison. I've got before/after CIA satellite photos when
we bombed it in '90 if anyone's interested.
