  2. Late Sunday afternoon, as the sun was low in the sky, I was working in the back yard, overlooking the river (which includes a very big pond here). I heard and then saw several pairs of geese, one pair at a time, honking as they do when they are coming in for a landing on the pond; interestingly, they were approaching at low altitude, flying in below treetop level across a golf course alongside an orchard in the river bottom--not flying in a flock coming in over the river bluff as they usually do. Hmmm....I wonder if the flock might have landed in another pond a ways upstream, and pairs of geese were relocating, one after another, to their customary evening location.

    1. As baiag as Hillary's lead is, it has come entirely from the South + Ohio.

  5. From the Sacramento Bee (McClatchy newspaper):

    Voting frenzy in Arizona, Utah as voters cast ballots in Western states

    I can accept that…

    Excerpt form another story:

    Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will return this week to California, a major source of presidential campaign money and – for the first time in years – a state that still could matter when the primary arrives here in June.

    Sanders will appear at a rally in San Diego on Tuesday night, shortly after nominating contests close in Arizona, Idaho and Utah...

    Clinton will arrive in California on Wednesday for a pair of fundraisers in the Bay Area, including at the Atherton home of SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. [Note: Atherton = old money, big money.]
    She will raise money in the Los Angeles area on Thursday. Clinton has raised about $26 million in the state, Sanders about $9.5 million.

  6. Hmmmm.....Results have bee trickling in from Arizona for an hour and a half. Odd--from 0.1% up to 21% reporting it has held steady at HRC 60%, Bernie 37%. It seems there ought to be some differences among precincts.

    1. You would think so, but scanning the counties there appears to be very little geographical difference.

      At 1:20 CDT, Utah is looking very good indeed. Still no results whatever from Idaho. Good chance the night will be roughly a wash. But that's not what we were hoping for.
