Mike has a new campaign website, built by Y.Day Designs. It’s gorgeous. I see it and feel that I’ve so much stayed in the prehistoric area web-designed wise. It’s almost like if I had on my websites. Remember that?
I know I’m not going to learn web design, which means that I should start looking for volunteer web designers to redo Derechos. It’s about time š

Mike, my husband, is running for our local school board. This is the sort of thing you do when you grow up, become established in a community and have children. Or that you would do if you had enough time for it. I am happy for Mike, he is one of the most committed people I know and one of the few who can get along with (practically) everyone without sacrificing his own moral and political stands. Being completely non-judgemental probably helps with that. And I think he will make a great school board member, I think he can bring new ideas and enthusiasm to a board that seems stuck in the past, and help shake it just a little bit.
Of course, both the race and the actual work as a school board member will take a lot of time from our family life – and require lots of organization from our part. I can’t say I’m thrilled about that. But since I’ve decided to support him, I’m going to figure out how to make it work. Probably my work will suffer, but as Jesus said “the poor will always be with you.”
Anyway, here is Mike’s press release. If you are in San Leandro please consider supporting him.
The following article from the UN news agency caught me by surprise. On the one hand it makes sense that one of the world’s largest countries be a large food aid donor. On the other hand the extreme rural poverty in China makes you wonder how, exactly, that is accomplished. Interestingly, China becam the 3rd largest food donor the same year it stopped receiving food aid itself.
Man Accused of Blinding Wife With Carrot
July 18,2006 | MONROE, Conn. — A 46-year-old man is accused of assaulting his wife with a carrot, causing her to lose sight in one eye. Roderick Vecsey is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Pamela Vecsey, 46, underwent six hours of surgery after being hit in the left eye with the vegetable Saturday night, but doctors were not able to restore her vision, prosecutor Stephanie Damiani said.
The couple was arguing when Roderick Vecsey tossed the carrot, Damiani said.
Roderick Vecsey told Judge Patrick Carroll that it was a terrible accident, and was advised to remain silent.
The judge set a hearing for Thursday. Vecsey is currently free after posting $500 bond.
