About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, surfing, and the geopolitics of oil. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia and work in Washington, DC. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

Back to the negative temps

Damn, I'm tired. We left the farmhouse at 7:30 to do some rush hour visibility, then spent some time putting up 2 huge 4x8 ft Clark signs, which is fun to do when the temp is in the 20s, its snowing, and the ground is practically frozen. Twenty degrees actually isn't too bad...we were lucky to have this warm spell so we could get a lot of outdoor activities done. It's back to the negative temps for the next 3 days, though, and 9am tomorrow it's supposed to "feel like -35"....ooooh fun.

We've got Clark for 2 events on Saturday - a town hall meeting and pancake breakfast - so we are building a crowd for that and getting a lot of positive responses (even from a large number of Republicans). It's funny - the people here get really excited when you tell them Wes will be flipping pancakes.

I'm so glad I decided to come up to NH for 3 weeks...it's so exciting here. The weather could be a tad bit warmer though (see, I told you I was going to complain about the weather).
