Today @KristinWardle and I celebrate our 30th Anniversary. April 12 is our anniversary because it was the only week that worked with our academic calendars in 1991 as we both were racing to try to get done with school, while attending different universities

One was on semesters the other on quarters. She was done with her semester and had more time off before her summer term, so we took a few days, got married, and then threw ourselves back into school and work.

The result of that, though was regular anniversary celebrations during Law School impacted by school and finals.

Also, I had no awareness of the fact that April 12, 1991 was my Grandfather’s 79th Birthday, so our first anniversary was spent in a van with my family traveling to his 80th birthday party.

This year, our youngest’s SAT schedule and my work schedule and COVID conspired to keep us from doing anything too epic and awesome but a quick Pacific NW road trip (although Old Hwy 95 and all the switchbacks at Whitebird is pretty epic and awesome).

Kristin has been the most kind, most patient, most supportive spouse I could have ever hoped to have. She has let me be me and is the reason that I have been able to accomplish a lot of really cool things because she keeps everything under control and moving forward.

We have tried to see much of the world together and will continue to do so in the future, hopefully.

Thank you, Kristin.

Fellow Sane Idahoans, don't let the #idleg and #IDiots and #COVIdiots get you down.

Now, if you have complained about the #idleg but you voted for Ryan Davidson, you need to go spend some time alone for some serious personal introspection because you did a bad bad thing.

That said there are some things we all need to do. The extremists, they won't change, but when you hear normal people you know and who you have a realtionship spout the stupid stuff, know enough about it that you can itnerject and say "actually, that isn't right" #idleg

@CNN

So heard a Texas legislator defend his #voting bill on @CNN this morning by countering “well how much fraud do you think is acceptable” even after being confronted with the study indicating that recent research has uncovered less than 20 instances of voting fraud.

So if any potential for voting fraud is a reason for Republicans to act in such an aggressive manner then I hope they will rethink their tolerances in other area?

Science has shown us that there are levels of contamination to drinking water that do not pose a threat to human health, but Republicans if zero potential for voting fraud is the goal shouldn’t that be the goal for arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals in drinking water?

And we need to call out #voting extremism and extremists at home #idleg #idpol

Don’t tell me that we need to make voting more difficult. Where is your proof that will improve democratic participation? #idleg #idpol

Here in Idaho where the House Majority leader proclaimed that “it shouldn’t be easy to vote” because someone had shared a Facebook Story or Meme about ballot harvesting.

Friends and Family,

If you are going to share stories, memes, thoughts on Georgia’s recently adopted voting law changes, including criticism of critics, I ask that you do a little research and you give a little thought before doing it. /1 #voting #GA #votingrights #racism

There are provisions of the Georgia law that do make permanent certain changes there that were implemented in response by COVID. Every state should implement those elements. /2

And if it were actually about voter ID then that issue has been fully vetted and addressed by the Courts regarding what is appropriate and constitutional. /3

When I see the Facebook posts of friends and relatives from Arizona it reaffirms my belief that many Arizonans are just western Floridians.

I mean my sweet aunt in AZ who always shares the up lifting cute stuff then likes virulent MAGA stuff

My former Mission President who lives in AZ posts uplifting things and then goes on praising Andy Biggs and Brian Kemp for standing up to the woke masses.
