Sunday, big week

Sue was ready to do her civic duty on Tuesday.  She had called and returned the form for disabity service at the court house.  She was tagged with a jury selection summons.  Lindsay and Sean had returned her car and she had practiced loading and unloading the power chair.  On Tuesday she checked for inclusion in the list.  Her group was not called.  On Wednesday her group as called. She drove her self down and unloaded the chair by herself and reported for duty.
An hour and a half after listening to everyone else's excuse she asked to talk to the judge. She told the judge she could not sustain attention long enough and asked to be dismissed. He complied.  She loaded up the chair herself and made it home in the Expedition.  I was using her escape.

We went out the next night to celebrate our anniversay.  She also got a huge collection of flowers from  Costco.  It had gerber daisies,carnations, and a lot of really exotic filler flowers and greenery. She was very pleased.  She was so pleased at her new freedom with her chair that we walked to dinner at La Hacieda 2.  I struggled to keep up as she kicked it in gear.  

I was on the road every day this week except for one.  I torqued my back one day by standing on the outside of the driver's side of the Escape and tried to pick up something on the floor on the passenger side. Too far away so el torqueo.

Saturday I was invited to participate in the questioning of the new school board candidates by our election committee.  It was very interesting.  One candidate is running unopposed so his name will not even be on the ballot.

I think that we as union members should take an active role in the school board politics.  We were are looking for an open door policy from the candidates that we will endose.  They are looking for a little cash to keep their campaigns going.  It costs 900 dollars to register as a candidate.
