It's a rainy night in Texas

[Skink]

Temps cooling and election results coming in.

1. Looks like the Bush spawn wins Land Commissioner by a landslide.

Other than that, there is NO good news to report.
I don't think anything changed in this RED as a rectum state.
(apologies)

3. We'll see

The night is young, there's only 1% of the vote in and our two ladies are edging up and the big city results are far from tallied.

5. You message of hope is appreciated..

I need sleep. And food.
Have worked my tail off for Wendy Davis & love all she represents.
But holy cow..this is Texas. TPTB is a criminal enterprise. I am going for dinner & a drink.
Things may look brighter in a few hours.
True the big dem districts are still being counted.

Best if I just step away from it all for a bit.
OYE!

2. It's matching my mood.

6. That is very good news!

However, news said (last night,) that the fracking co's are already promising they will fight to have a YES VOTE repealed.
In Court I assume.
I know NO ONE in my area of Denton that was for this.
This is good news. Thank You

7. I heard that there was a minor earthquake in Denton just today.

I wondered how many votes that swayed, if any.

I hope one day people will realize how bad fracking really is, and we can go the sustainable energy route sooner rather than too later.

8. I assume this means only within the city limits of Denton?

9. I'm not sure of the wording on the issue.

I would assume that it's for all of Denton County.
