Good Week, Bad Week

I'm not going to get too personal here.  I had a wonderful bruch by Beth and walk with her and Shehla along the Tennessee Valley Trail yesterday, so even though the rest of the week has been devoted to retirement snafus, and even though my computer keeps saying "Word could not create the work file" so that I can't access or send e-mail or open any of my Word documents, I'm not talking about MY bad week.  But here's what got put on Insight's back page June 8, 2014.  (Yes, I know that there's been a more recent Insight.)Bad week for democracy in California because four in five voters skipped the June primary due to "lack of drama," the SF Chronicle speculates.  But I was among the 1/5 who showed up, and I saw some drama:  Leland Yee, indicted and suspended as a state senator because of felony charges against him (money laundering, murder for hire) was on the ballot for Secretary of State!  The SF Chronicle designated a good week for him because he finished third in the race!

Now here's one more thing:  The Chronicle put labor unions in the Good Week (for them) because "They spend big money to successfully stop their  No. 1 target:  Assembly candidate Steve Glazer, who wanted to ban BART strikes."  I, in fact, think that BART strikes should be banned, just as MUNI strikes are.  But I also think workers should be given very good pay and benefits so there would be no need to strike.
