Thursday, February 3

Things were a little back to normal today.  By the way, the session begins each day with a (Christian) prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.

The most memorable task of the week was hauling a (not so) mini-fridge and microwave from a vehicle in the lot to an office a floor above ground level.  Fortunately, the rep had the sense to pack along a dolly cart which, through the snow, was about as navigable as the Titanic in a kiddie pool.  Anyway, I got quite a few strange looks as I pulled the stacked appliances along the tile floor.

Today I was in the Environmental Protection committee meeting and its new director spoke about giving the DNR a better image with the people it deals by responding sooner to issues and by being "Iowa reasonable" at the same time.  He and the reps would like to see more efficiency and streamlining between Iowa's DNR and the federal EPA.  Sounds good to me.

Thought of the day...
...There's one thing the Democrats and Republicans share in common: our money.
