Regarding the CA Governor's race, I have done much research, and still feel that Katie Porter is the best choice for the job. I am not "in love" with any candidate. This is a pragmatic decision. She is a consumer protection advocate with enough experience in government to know what needs to be done and not so much that she can be considered an "establishment" politician. 
Her values, for the most part, align with mine. (Unfortunately, she seems to have drunk the YIMBY kool-aid, but I can't find a candidate who hasn't.)   
I refuse to be bullied into voting against my principles.

Still researching more information. Please get out there and vote. 

Best, 
Mari

Monday Morning Musings

Hey Everybody! 

Holding onto hope that common sense will become common again, along with common courtesy. It starts with us. I don't what is going on in the hearts and minds of some folks regarding this CA election for governor. Politics is so strange. It reminds me of high school cliques, but with much older people. 
No gigs this week, but I'm planning on hitting a local blues jam tonight. If you know, you know. 

Ox, 
Mari
