Moving at half-speed these days. I don’t remember the heat ever lasting this long.

I went to David Segal’s fund-raiser at Firehouse 13, heard a little of Low Anthem playing some kind of bluegrass, and saw a very enthused and supportive crowd that filled the club and spilled out on to the street. I heard on WRNI that Segal wants to counter the influence of corporate money in campaigns.

I have not made a decision in the Congressional race, and I’ll be voting in this district, so I’m listening to all the candidates and waiting for the humidity to clear so I can think straight.
