Today was about the same as yesterday (it's obvious when I start writing about my reading habits that I'm really bored. By the way, I finished my book today). In the morning we saw Newt Gingrich being escorted by all the high-and-mighties; there were also FFA members from several schools on tours with their respective reps on the floor. On the floor below in the rotunda, protestors from the Citizens for Community Improvement were piled up against Governor Branstad's office door. I could hear them all the way from the House floor.
A task I enjoy several times each day is going to the bill room. There are two ladies that brighten up each time I walk in, and they have an organized system for storing House Files, House Study Files, House Joint Resolutions, and who knows what other kinds of stuff. Storing and handing out every single piece of legislation would be overwhelming, but not for these two. I suspect they have had plenty of time to think about how to do it; the room is tiny and has shifting aisles and a vertically rotating file cabinet and has an atmosphere of its own. Anyway, I told them I would write about them sometime.
Things should pick up (a lot) later this week because the marraige amendment will be debated.
