A Rambling Anniversary

I realize that virtually no one reads this but I feel the need to keep it going and also acknowledge the passage of time. It's been nearly six months since my last post and tomorrow marks the Seventh (7th) Anniversary of "The Chaotic Ramblings of a Half-Mind". Happy Birthday, "Chaotic Ramblings"!

In the past six months SW MO has had a mild winter for the most part and recently it seemed we would skip Spring and go right into Summer with temperatures reaching the low 80s last week.

The race for the Republican Presidential Nomination began in January at the Iowa Caucus which Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts, won initially but Iowa's state GOP changed that decision; awarding the caucus to former U.S. Senator for Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum and it has been crazy ever since. Even here in Missouri it's been a little nuts. There was a non-binding primary in early February which didn't count and having begun on March 15th until the 24th are the official Missouri Republican county caucuses at least according to the Wikipedia article regarding Missouri's Primary and Caucuses.

On Saturday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) the largest (supposedly) number of delegates in the state were to be selected at the
caucus in St. Charles County. However, the caucus got out of control relatively quickly with local law enforcement being called to re-establish order. Law enforcement officers shut down the caucus with absolutely no delegates being selected. That is where the stands right now for St. Charles County; no delegates and no one has any idea if, when or how delegates for that county will be selected. It's crazy but, the world rolls on.

There is still more to mention but I'm going to leave it there for now. Live Long and Prosper.
