I really like shutters on a house - I think that a house without shutters just looks sad and naked.  Shutters give it a really nice finishing touch.  The  Larson Shutter company has a really nice website with not only shutters, but also shutter hardware that I’ve had a hard time finding in local stores.

Last night a friend came over with a DVD of the movie Ghost Rider.  He said he wanted to spend some time with us, and watch a movie together.  So we popped some popcorn and watched the video.  I hadn’t seen the movie before and heard it was pretty good, but I have to say that I had my reservations at first about the movie, but after a short while into the movie I found myself enjoying it.  By the end of the movie, I had to admit it was pretty good.

I’m not convinced that the recent popularity of Colon Cleanseproducts is enough to get me to try any of them.  I was watching an infomercial about them today, where they were talking about how people can lose a lot of weight by using these products, saying that the process cleanses several pounds of old toxic fecal matter out of the colon.  I’m really not convinced that this is a good idea - I think that the body does a pretty good job of taking care of itself.

I’m not a big fan of spending a lot of time sitting on the porcelain throne, so any product that is going to make me spend even more time there is going to be viewed with a lot of skepticism on my part.  My sister, on the other hand, thinks that colon cleansing is a great idea.  She seems to be obsessed with how often she eliminates, and how often her children eliminate.  I’m not sure it’s a good idea to be that obsessed with it - I think that if you go a few times a week and you’re not in pain, it should not be anything to worry about unless and until the doctor says that there is something to be concerned about.

I decided to go do early voting this year. I’m planning on being too busy working on election day to be able to get to the polls, so I went down to the registrar’s office to do an early voting ballot. I was surprised that they were asking for a justifiable reason for early voting - they were calling it absentee voting, not early voting, and they said that I had to have a “good” reason for doing it - like being out of town, being disabled, being at work during the polling hours. So I filled out the form, explaining that I was going to be working all day and unable to get to the polls. It only took a few minutes before they called me up to the voting booth. The booth had a touch screen monitor that I only had to touch lightly with my fingertips to get my vote cast. So, I’m glad I’m done!  My vote has been cast - I hope you go vote too!
