POLITICALLY, IT'S STILL EARLY

Well, the Iowa Straw Poll was held this past Saturday and Michele Bachmann emerged as the winner of this rather limited voter participation affair. In related matter, Rick Perry garnered enough write-in votes to finish sixth and, the following day, Tim Pawlenty, who finished third, announced that he was abandoning his campaign. Perry has now announced that he is a candidate but was not listed on the ballot. Linden believes that there may well be other Republican candidates who will announce. On the democrat side, there is some talk of finding a primary opponent for Obama.

LINDEN’S LIFE

Friday: attended Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Later, went back by the church, to the post office, auto repair shop, gas station, and grocery.

Saturday: Went to two groceries and the post office. Did a bunch of computer stuff.

Sunday: went to church and Sunday school and on to brunch with friends. At church, Carol Fields brought me a package that a worker at Haus Edelweiss in Austria had brought back for me: it was from Kevin and Dimi and contained two jars of marmalade. I sampled both on toast after supper. In the afternoon, Kent brought me some tomatoes, potatoes, and onions from his garden. Looks like I eat this coming week.
