Box Wine ~ Like His Mother Used To Do ~ Cream Filled Donuts

Good 52º morning. Warm already! Hit 102º yesterday. Ick.

This is going to be a short blog. Didn't get a jump on it yesterday and going to meet up with Doug Breidenthal this am and see what I can do to help his campaign for Jackson County Commissioner here in RR.

Hard to believe how fast this month is zipping by. Sheesh!

For you Dale.... !

... she was really hot for a short time and then fizzled. Married to Lance Rentzel (click his name in the link) for a short time. He turned out to be a very strange fellow!

Yesterday was the JCRW luncheon. Our speaker was Jim Huffman. He is a professor of law and the former dean of Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. He was the Republican nominee in the 2010 U.S. Senate election in Oregon, facing incumbent Ron Wyden. Sadly he lost. Interesting speaker. Certainly knows his Constitution!
