How was your Halloween?
Mine actually begins today, when the association I work for has their annual three-day national meeting.
It is being held in Virginia, and I will cover it remotely.
Today, we do a test to make sure everything is copacetic, related to visuals, sound, etc.
Tomorrow and Wednesday, it gets down to the real nitty gritty, as I have daily eight-hour meetings to sit through, and then, write about.
It really isn't easy to do, pretty much puts me out of commission for at least three days, and it greatly impacts what I do here each day.
But it is my job, so I gotta do what I gotta do.
And one of the main topics of discussion is going to be the continuing-and-seemingly-never-ending government shutdown.
This cataclysm is greatly impacting Americans in so many ways, and our elected legislators do not see that compromise will be the tonic for the end of this nonsense.
Both sides are at fault, and it really is hurting the little guy the most.
Put these legislators in a room, lock them in, and tell them that they can't get out until this thing is settled.
And take away their salaries and health benefits until they begrudgingly come to an agreement.
And with Election Day tomorrow, maybe it is time to use the power that we have and get rid of these completely inept lawmakers once and for all when their terms are over and done with and they run again.
Ridiculous ... it is beyond comprehension that this situation has gone on for weeks now without resolution.
One side says the other side is at fault, and at this point, nobody cares.
Just settle this thing!
Hopefully someone will listen, and this thing will get settled--
Which would be great for a number of reasons, including that I won't hear about it much at the meeting I am covering the next few days.
More on all of this tomorrow.
