A BLIND SPOT A MILE WIDE

Forbidden from Allowing Homosexual 'Marriage' Oregon County Refuses All Marriages

Interesting quotes:
Benton County Commissioner Linda Modrell told the Reuters news service that "It may seem odd," but "we need to treat everyone in our county equally."
Yay! Someone who understands that this is an issue of discrimination!
"We are happy Benton County is not going to violate the law by issuing illegal marriage licenses, but we are perplexed as to why they would not issue legal licenses," Defense of Marriage Coalition spokesman, Tim Nashif, said.
...and someone that doesn't understand that this is an issue of discrimination! Boo!

EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING

Had a nice, easy weekend. The highlight was the annual Planned Parenthood Paperback Book Sale. Came home with quite a few good finds:
  • The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, all by Robert Ludlum
  • Combat #1, a book of three mininovels by Larry Bond, Dale Brown, and David Hagberg
  • Resurrection Day, by Brendan DuBois (one of my all-time favorite books!)
  • Startide Rising and The Uplift War, by David Brin
  • Closing Time, by Joseph Heller (a sequel to Catch-22)
  • Eternity, by Greg Bear
  • The Coming of the Quantum Cats, by Frederik Pohl
  • a book by Orson Scott Card that wasn't an Ender story (don't remember the title)
The hardback book sale is in September. Last year, between the two of us, we spent over $60...

We also went maternity clothes shopping. Well, she went shopping, I got to schlep the results like a pack mule. One thing I noticed about maternity clothes: why all of the horizontal stripes? Don't horizontal stripes make you look wider than you actually are? Why on earth would you want to emphasize the bulk of a pregnant woman, a woman that probably doesn't feel very attractive in the first place? I know that R keeps walking around mooing like a cow, and she's making fun of the fact that she's getting larger. Mostly making fun of it, anyway.

And finally, last night I slept with a cat on my legs. It's true, y'know, that cats really do weigh more in the dark...
