The state of the Union... (political rant)

So, it's primary week here in New Hampshire. All the candidates are here talking up a storm and getting everyone... well, trying to get everyone to believe that they're the real deal. I've been having fun messing with the polling stats by lying my ass off whenever I get a pollster's call. (Protect democracy: Lie to a pollster!)

But, of course, the side effect of all this political action is that I start looking at the news again and that gets me agitated about the state of affairs in this country and, well, here's today's political rant:

I can haz shrimpsies!

A group of us from my church joined together to divide a share (or 2) of a local shrimp fishery's co-op. That means that a bunch of us share 20 pounds of shrimp for $2/lb for six weeks.

I went in for 1/2 pound a week, as there's only so much shrimp I can eat, and no one else in my house will eat it.

But anyway, the first batch came in today, and they are now headless and soaking in cold water so as to be peeled. Possibly for lunch. Yummmmm!

They're sharp buggers, though. *sucks thumb*
