Well, I'm back, as we're pretty much settled in the new house, with most of our stuff unpacked. But, I did get to catch primary day results (The ones that are in). It was, shall we say, mostly as expected.
No shocker, Grisanti won in his district. I really didn't expect Stocker to go anywhere here. He tried to be the Anti-Grisanti, and basically: It just don't fly here. Yes, there are some conservatives here in WNY, but there's not many extremists. Stocker wanted to be the Radicalized Republican, and we don't buy it here.
Another "no shock", was Kennedy winning the initial count. I think he's still ahead by 100 votes. I was surprised it was so tight, but not surprised Kennedy came out ahead. You can't go 10 feet in Kennedy's district before coming in front of a Tim Kennedy sign.
Amodeo was a surprise to me. I was expecting Swanick to come out ahead, but I don't have a thumb on the pulse of that area there.
But, all in all; not many surprises here. I don't expect too many surprises in November either. Grisanti wins. Kennedy wins. Amodeo? I don't honestly know, but it'll give me a reason to keep on the pulse in his district.

Still Here, and Getting Settled In
Not much of a politics posts today, or a green thing, but just wanted to let everyone know:
I've gotten totally moved in, but not unpacked. My home office is coming together, so I can have my writing spot soon. The family so far is loving the new (First) home. I've got to prioritize my projects. I've got water catchment, planting, antenna work, (tiny) data center work, and the various home other home projects.
I do have to remember not do try and take on too much at once, so I think I can get the vegetable bed started, but need tools. And then, water catchment, but need tools. So, my first job I think is "Buy more tools".
I'll keep home progress updated here too, as it'll give me more writing materials. I'm hoping to get another post out by Thursday, but work catch up is killing me right now, as I was on vacation for two weeks. At least nothing died while I was gone, just day one and two of being back.
I can see already why home ownership is important to communities, to keep them thriving. I've spoke more with my new neighbors in 4 days than I had my old neighbors over 8 years. It's quite the eye opener.
But, until my next post, stay sane people. Remember, GOP and Independent Primaries are in a few days (September 19th, I believe), and elections are just around the corner.
- Yes, I am alive
- Yes, I've moved into my new house
- Yes, I will start posting regularly by next week
