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.
we netted more delegates from the Democrats Abroad voting than Hillary Clinton netted with her narrow victories in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Missouri combined. -- Bernie Sanders
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.
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.
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.
C'mon Sol!

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