Good Morning D
Today's local weather report. We have 61° and partly cloudy skies on the Nature Coast. Our high should reach 73°. No rain is in the forecast.
Austin, you are eating like a king.
"Catfish, oysters and butterfly shrimp again last night. from Catfish Parlor. Wife wanted more before they close this coming Saturday."
I hate to see my favorite restaurants close. Tonight we have a concert to attend so I will stop in a the Lucky Dill Deli for a bite to eat. It is a New York style deli that would remind you of the old Carnegie Deli in New York City. It is run by New Yorkers who fled the state for the freedom found in Florida. Once people moved to Florida for the weather. Now they move to be free of tyrannical Democrat states.
Trust all have a nice day.
I lived in a smaller town in Oregon in the early 80s. People used to rag on me because I moved there from California, thinking I must be a liberal (Lord have mercy!). I told them that Oregon was as liberal as California but they didn't believe me. The transition was starting then but they didn't see it coming.
NOTE: Oregon turned radically liberal because Californians moved there and turned it liberal, like they are doing to AZ now.
TOPLINE
Voters in Harney County, Oregon, overwhelmingly passed a measure on Tuesday calling for preliminary discussions about how to leave the state in order to join a proposed expansion of Idaho—a move highly unlikely to ever become a reality but one that appears to be gaining momentum.
KEY BACKGROUND
Voters in Union and Jefferson counties were the first two to back the concept,
narrowly passing measures last November calling for discussions, which failed to pass in two other counties. But five more
rural, conservative counties—Malheur, Lake, Baker, Grant and Sherman—came on board in May, with the counties averaging a
62% vote in favor of the measures. The political views of these counties differ greatly with Oregon as a whole, which is seen as one of the country’s most reliably blue states since its population is so centered in left-leaning, northwestern cities like Portland. Oregon has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1984, while both of its U.S. senators are Democrats and both houses of the state legislature are controlled by Democrats. Idaho, on the other hand, has a strongly Republican legislature and both of its U.S. senators are part of the GOP. A Democratic presidential candidate hasn’t carried Idaho since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
