Events around my town

First off, the Sacramento Food Cooperative in Elk Grove is still losing money. This saddens me. This puts the whole Food Cooperative in jeopardy. I'm very sorry to see them having troubles. I'm also sorry to see that apparently Elk Grovites aren't in a position to support such an endeavor.
However, on the plus side, if the Co-op tanks, the new Nugget will go up near my house.
Second, Arnold Schwarzeneggar is catching some heat for referring to a colleague's hot temper being related to her latina and black heritage. Some Democrats are making a flap out of it. Also, some newspapers are representing his statement a little differently, such that it appears he called her "hot". Regardless, I think we have more important things to criticize our politicians for than flippant stereotypical remarks said in closed quarters. I would be more concerned at criticising him for policies that might be prejudicial. Oddly enough, the woman about whom he said that comment isn't upset. Granted, she's a Republican, but how totally anticlimactic. I'd much rather see her go "West Side Story" on his ass than someone like Phil Angelides.
Finally, Elk Grove is working on plans to add 72 more miles of biking and jogging trails throughout Elk Grove. Of course, this may take 5 years, but I think that's rather cool. A freeway crossing over 99 is in the plans, too.
Today's reading included Episodes 821-823 of "Batman Detective" by
kingofbreakfast and the first part of "Identity Crisis". Great stuff. I'm amused by the appearances of the Riddler and Poison Ivy. Identity Crisis is rather gripping, as well.
I also read up on some work stuff today. I'll have to hit the ground running when I return to the office. I have a new project, and two existing ones which will be time consuming.
My cats have enjoyed my presence here at home this week. They are getting in lots o' cuddle time.
Elonka Dunin's "Secret Code Puzzles" has been amusing me, too. Good brain teaser action. Though I'm only in the easy cipher section so far. I'll get to the key ciphers later.
I'm finding ways to ignore ABC's 9/11 movie so I don't sit and fume.
