Jason has fixed my blog problem, so this will be the first message that I have been able also to post on my blog for a long time. I will not bother though to go back and post all of those that I have had to skip. Today is the primary election day in California, but the only issue I feel strongly about is the cigarette tan initiative. The tobacco companies have spent so much money and waged such a misleading media campaign against it that it may lose. Yesterday in addition to watching all of my PBS shows, I read some more on my Kindle. I feel good today.

I just measured my blood pressure just now and got 142/92 with a heart rate of 65. These first numbers are a little high, but I am not worried. Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and Science. In the evening I went to dinner and a movie with the Morrills and the Ariagnos. We ate at a place in Los Altos and then went to a movie called Crooked Arrows. It was about kids on an Indian reservation playing La Cross against prep school teams. It presumably was based on a true story. It was a feel good movie with the Indians finally winning a game at the end. I give it three stars. I feel good today.
