Of mayors and civic responsibility

Albuquerque (2000 census): Population of voting age: 380,000

Yesterday's election-

Mayoral vote count:

Berry (R)	36,466
Chavez (D)	29,140
Romero (D)	14,458
Write In	149

Total voter turn out: 80,213

In other words, only about 20% of the electorate turned out to vote for the most important job in the city - and that's based on a 2000 population estimate. (Albuquerque has grown substantially since 2000). It's a sad reflection on our citizenry.

It is NOT the holiday season yet.

Someone at the University just put me on hold. The music I'm listening to? Deck the Halls...


AAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Calendar coordination

Bill and I use a joint calendar on Google to track our various outside activities. At work we use the dreaded GroupWise Calender system.

For email, I use Outlook 2007 at both home and work, and would prefer to use Outlook's calendar for my personal information; today I discovered I can sync our shared calendar with Outlook, so now I can keep personal appointments in Outlook, and know that Bill can view them through the Google calendar. Sweet! One less tool for me to worry about.
