Mixture of happiness and sadness...

Well the elections are over...for the most part anyway. For the most part, I'm very pleased with the results on a national level...it looks like our country is in for a change and that is very good. Even my city of Oshkosh, traditionally Republican, elected a Democrat into the state assembly...first time in a long time.

However, the marriage referendum went through and that made me very sad. I really expected it to get shot down. Hopefully next time...

I'm also happy that the smoking ban in bars will continue in Appleton. I'm not a resident so I didn't vote on this issue...but I can't tell you how much I enjoy waking up the next morning after a night out and not gagging over the smell in my hair. My hangovers aren't that bad either. Now....if only Oshkosh would follow suit...

I know not everyone reading this will share my opinions, but isn't that what a blog is for, to express your thoughts and opinions?

Yep, totally. And since it's YOUR blog you get to say what YOU want and no should leave you nasty comments for it either. :)

Smoking ban is good. When DH was in MBA school the city we lived in had a public smoking ban. No smoking ANYWHERE in public. It rocked! Well, except for smokers.
