30. Oh, I knew you were. We're both lamenting the horror of living in Red State Hell, surrounded

by Repugs. At least most red states have one or more oases of people who vote Dem. But not here.

And don't get me started on the weather here - 70+ days over 100 degrees in 2011, dog knows how many in 2012, but a spell of 113-114 degree days and plenty of days 105+ and 110+. ARRGGGHH. (But we don't have hurricanes and generally not much humidity.)

Surrounded by teh stoopid & teh bigoted haters and baking in the heat - a truly lovely combo!

The state ballot initiatives here are legendary in their asshatery (although not quite as insane this year as in the past couple of years)- don't know about NCs.

On one very bright side, we're spared the barrage of Pres. campaign ads in OK - the Dems don't even try, so then the Reps don't need to bother either.
