That's what happens in a democracy. We have to live with the choice of the majority... if the majority did make the choice. In the Philippines, the Presidential candidate with the most votes wins... even if the number of votes was a mere 1% more than the next highest vote getter.

And the Vice Presidential race is decided in the same way. So we often have cases where the President and Vice President come from different political parties.

What a joke.

We had our special election here last month, for school-related issues, etc. I hope we're all done with elections for awhile.

I hope the next Philippine elections come soon. But I'm afraid to see who is running...

Originally in the US the vice president was the second place vote getter. It change in 1804 when the votes for president and vice president were seperate. Over time it resulted into what we have now where the president & vice president are elected as a package.

I think having a package deal makes sense.

I was at the hotel gym this morning so I had a front-row seat for the President's latest antics.

I think I prefer the gym at home, where you only have to watch that stuff if you feel like plugging in your phone or tablet.

On the other hand, we did get some time in the hotel pool & spa. That was nice.

I like pools and spas! So relaxing. a good massage is just the thing.

There's a quiet stretch of beach near me that's mainly accessible if you row across to it. Having somewhere all to yourself is relaxing.

I read that as "stench" of beach at first. Bad Ibby

One of my favorites Philippine beaches is this quiet place called Nagsasa Cove. No cellphone signal and plenty of natural beauty. One of my most relaxing weekends ever.

I live close enough to the shore that in the summer with a sea breeze I can smell the salt air. I love that smell.

Mmmm, salt air from the sea...

(imagine that being said in Homer Simpson's voice)

Ah, you've been then



salt air... salting doughnuts and popcorn... hmmmmmm...

It was National Donut day the other day

Dunkin' Donuts world HQ is here in Massachusetts. Maybe we could organize a Legion trip?

What do you do on donut day?

Do nut-hing.

Our local, gloriously un-hip chain eventually added a Bacon Maple Bar to its doughnut assortment, but I'll likely never try it. I'm not much for maple bars. Cake doughnuts or crullers though--

Bacon and maple syrup? Well, why not.

Wow! Who knew posts had calories?

Cake vs. Pie probably had the most of any thread.

Pi won as it had the numbers

3.14 of them.

Slightly more than that

3.14159265 35897932384626433832795028841971693993751

That's a lot of digits to wedge onto a mere dessert plate.

meanwhile, it takes a lot of effort to fit ten digits in your pi-hole.

Maybe we could recruit a dessert-loving boa constrictor with a Math degree.
