Democracy Made EZ

...or, The Tikis Go to the Caucus Races....



So, as all know, in addition to a presidential primary, Washington state has a caucus system. No one quite knows how it all works, but as the primary apparently does not count, Mr. Tiki and ourselves decided to hie us to the caucus races.

( Vote early and often )

Unpacking

Finally getting to our boxes from WDW. Here's some of the stuff we got from Stitch's Great Escape. Lots, huh? It includes a beach towel, four t shirts (two are technically for kiddies, but we bet we can squooge into them), two baseball caps, a big zap gun and a little zap gun, a license plate, a boxed toy of Stitch in his ship and a similar light-up toy, several pens and some glasses. Impressive, ne? And this was just the stuff we saw that we hadn't picked up before.
