Voting in Texas
Posted by miri On 23 February, 2008
Voting in the Texas Democratic primaries is an interesting activity. First, Republicans have done their best to gerrymander districts to their benefit and polling places can be difficult to get to, but the oddest thing is that you get to vote twice. Twice? Yep. We have a primary election and a caucus. You can only participate in the caucus if you have already voted. Huh?

The staff had given the squirrel monkeys bits of candy cane. This caused much excitement.

I was fascinated by their tongues. They seem pretty powerful – able to reach out, wrap around small branches and pull them close enough to munch on.

Their hands and thumbs are fascinating.

Birthday lunch with my mom. I treated her – she was the one doing all the work o-so-many years ago.
