My brother (who works for an environmentalist group in Iowa) went to see Trump speak with some of his coworkers. The organizers saw a group of 20-somethings in matching t-shirts and smelled trouble. Official guy came over and said "the Trump campaign can't be responsible for what the crowd does" if they started protesting.

I didn't realize that temperature was allowed to happen in California.

My friend in Orange County claimed it was literally too windy for her to go outside. But it's hard to tell with you southern Californians, you are so unused to having weather than sometimes you are kind of overdramatic about it.

Today at a concert there was a girl wearing an army jacket with this hairstyle. I never knew that was what I wanted in life until that moment.

Speaking of the fuck*ng iPhone, couldn't get internet via the hotspot when I tried it for the first time today. Can't face it today but number one job of blizzard prep tomorrow is calling Apple and/or Verizon to try to get it working.

I am eternally bewildered by how people decide who to vote for. And I don't mean people who like Trump or whatever-- talking to friends and classmates about whether they like Bernie or Hillary is so confusing.

I think I have an overall mental deficiency (that sounds dramatic) about making certain kinds of judgment calls. I do not really feel like I have the information I need to say who is a "better leader," who did better in the debates, or who will be better at making deals or whatever. I can't even imagine what information would help me make that call. So I pick based on what legislation they've voted for and what their positions are.

This is not some kind of sarcastic post, I just really cannot follow what people are talking about when they debate this stuff. Even my really smart friends who know more about politics than me.

More mystifying: people who constantly bring up Bernie's (past) gun control votes. Really, that's your one dealbreaker? That he's worse than Hill on one issue? What about the many issues he's better than her on (even according to the people who have made this point to me)? Can you really complain that someone is too idealistic out of one side of your mouth, and get mad when they compromise with the other?

(I think either of them will be a fine prez.)

Given that 90% of them are just parrotting what their favorite talking head or blogger said, I tend to think that most people are in the same boat.  There's a couple politicians I'd vote for president in a heartbeat, because I know they're smart, have the best of intentions, aren't in anyone's pocket, and I know them personally.  Unfortunately they're local city officials who'd never get a crack at the big time because of all the pigs already at that trough.

Dear guy in the orange Mustang with Texas plates: I hope you learned something today about driving in the snow. As in, don't do it if you don't absolutely have to.
