more stuff

So the meeting between my wife and her parents went reasonably well. Actually, it went about as well as it could have. They basically came to an understanding on how to make their relationships better, which is good. We then spent the rest of the weekend with them, which was good but weird. To go from a state of distrust and bitterness to a state where we hang out and have fun all day is just too weird. And that has been hard on Catherine. She's been really stressed out as a result of that and other things that are happening.

Things with the house are progressing slowly. We (hopefully) have given all the documents and info to the loan company that they need in order for them to decide if they should give us half a million dollars. The whole process has been very frustrating though, as whenever we think that we have given them everything we have to provide a few more documents. Oh well.

Only in California can we simultaneously deny law enforcement additional funding, but vote to add a speed train. We strike down the right of parental notification if their child wants an abortion, take away the rights of gays to get married, but overwhelmingly pass a law that forces farmers to allow a chicken that will eventually be slaughtered to have room in their cages to walk around. We barely pass legislation that allows for funding for childrens schools, and deny victims of crimes the right to be aware of criminal hearings but pass by a 2-1 margin proposition 2. My state has the political views of a 13 year old girl.
