In the last democratic debate in Las Vegas I thought Richardson stood out. He was sincere and talked about what he had done and thought needed to be done without picking on Hillary, something Obama and Edwards have gotten a lot of press about recently. I don't think it is serving either them.

Just back from Minnesota and seeing cousins I'd never met before. Just west of Minneapolis my grandmother Adolphena and her family settled in 1889 in a town called Waterville. Now it's just an hours drive but back then I'm sure it took longer. I visited with granddaughters of my grandmother Adolphene's sister (making us second cousins I suppose) on the original farm site of their grandmother which now owed by the granddaughter overlooking a lovely lake.
