1100 - 1930.
Nothing happened today. Nothing, I swear. OK, one thing. The Orange City Tulip Festival queen and her court said the Pledge. They were wearing period costumes, so I can understand why they left in a hurry.
The only bill in which I summoned the remotest interest was H.F. 718, a bill to reduce the dangers of cigarettes in starting house fires. It passed, of course (97-0), but the opening statement described the applicable technique as "speed bumps" to reduce smoldering. I found this oddly amusing. The House passed three other bills, overwhelmingly, yet we still had a late night as a result of committee meetings throughout the day and debate starting at 6 PM.
Since this post is exceptionally short, a Google quote follows:
Man is the only animal that laughs and has a state legislature.

- I am a politically conservative student - I enjoy music, writing, debate, and the Internet. I love: irony, singing, good books, rainy days, the aroma of pipes, listening, being wanted, the melancholy depression of November, hugs, meditations in the key of God.
