Quiet Weekend... (From the not Commissioner)
Well, it turns out I am just on the wrong side of an invisible line and therefore cannot run for District 2 Commissioner and must run instead for District 3 after the current guy's tenure expires.
Unfortunately that makes it much more expensive for me as I'll have to run a regular campaign. Today we on the Vacating committee meet with all the expected candidates (there may be one or two surprise candidates on the actual date) and get a picture of their views. So I'll be in the County Seat meeting with people that I'll be voting for or against in this particular funfest.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
