After cleaning the house for two days upon returning from Pebble Beach (I super-cleaned it before we left, but apparently this was home-base for some crackheads while we were gone) I got back to the office work that I've put off for a couple of months. Didn't get much done there because my office needed reorganizing.
Then on Friday I found out about an MMA fight that was going down on Saturday evening. Hmmmm...well we had a town hall meeting in Kingman on that afternoon (one hour from here) so then I'd have to drive home from that, change clothes, then make the one hour drive in the OTHER direction to get to that.
No problem.
The town hall meeting was cool because our Congressman, Trent Franks, was received quite well by the people and we managed to get lots of info about the issues in D.C. from him. No yelling, no name calling, and the few protesters outside left after a short time. Amateurs.
Here's our Congressman, with the current health care proposal sitting on the chair next to him. He said it was handed to Congress at midnight, and they were required to vote on it at 8am the next day. Why is it so thick? Because there's lots of stuff in there that has nothing to do with health care.
What a joke.
Shay and I made the long drive home and then rounded up Steve so we could get up to the MMA fights.
Four fighters from the gym we train at were fighting that night, and we were very excited to be there for their support.
Then Sunday we made the trip back to Kingman for the annual Republican picnic. Our Congressman was the featured speaker, but we also had the State Mine Commissioner, the State Treasurer, our State Senator, our two State Representatives, the Mayor, City Council members, oh and of course our County Supervisor Buster was there.
Shay got a picture with the Congressman:
And Steve was in heaven because he got to speak to the Congressman about current issues that he feels very strongly about:
And I saw him speaking to the State Treasurer at length as well. Yeah, this is the same guy that whined about being dragged to the picnic all of Sunday morning.
He whined last year too, but then he ended up really enjoying himself. What a baby.
