A sunny, bright day, but cooler.\u00a0 44 right now.\u00a0 Temps will trend downward over the next week toward more normal March weather.\u00a0 This week we’ve melted all of our snow away, unusual.<\/p>\n
Put in a large order at Mann’s bee supplies for deep hive boxes, honey supers, frames and foundations, hive tools, feeders and pollen patty mix.\u00a0 Kate’s taken over the woodenware phase of the process, agreeing to put stuff together as it comes.\u00a0 This is great for me since handling such matters tends toward large amounts of frustration and blue language.<\/p>\n
Spent yesterday AM doing travel arrangements for Kate’s trip to Denver (car) and her trip to San Francisco (air), writing our CPA, signing up for a healthy eating class from Brenda Langston and moving money around.\u00a0 A fussy, businessy day with our business meeting in the AM.<\/p>\n
The mid-session for the Sierra Club Legislative Committee finds us fighting defense on the Nuclear Moratorium and the Polymet Mining proposal, pushing a few bills, but, for the most part, working in the trenches.\u00a0 An old flame of mine, now a tax staffer for the Minnesota Senate used to say “No one’s wallet or rights are safe while the legislature is in session.”\u00a0 That emphasizes the need for constant surveillance as bills go into committees, especially after Friday, the 2nd deadline which winnows legislation down further.\u00a0 As bills miss deadlines, authors begin to look for creative ways of pushing their legislation like getting it added to omnibus bills or arranging for amendments once a bill is on the floor of either house.<\/p>\n
