Kanawha County Gambling Expansion
Well, the recount is over. The expansion of gambling in Kanawha County has been approved. I guess. According to Metro News more ballots were ‘found’ and our Secretary of State will audit the election.

Popcorn and Lemon Water
Good grief, do I have a case of avoidance going on here. I guess maybe it’s from pushing so hard for the past few days. While I was studying for my exams I felt bad because all I was doing was sitting and reading. I did only minimal housework, not that I do much anyway, [...]

I thought the language of the table games bill said Tri-State had to pay for ALL issues relating to [...]

Test Day Ver 1.0
Well, today is the day. I make my first attempt at the license exam.
I’ve been studying hard and taking practice text after practice test. Overall I’m getting in the 80% range. Sounds good on the surface, but you have to pass each section with a 70%, and I haven’t done that consistently. Some I’m getting [...]

Purple Haze
I told you my crystal was foggy. I told you things weren’t quite clear.
By now you now more uncounted ballots were found at the County Clerk’s office on Tuesday. That brings the total to 438. According to this morning’s Gazette:
Most of Tuesday’s uncounted ballots came from the South Hills area, which voted heavily in favor [...]
