State of the State

First day of legislature... and the state of the state address. First in ode to Where's Waldo, find the Governor in the wide shot. (Click on the photo to enlarge.) For opening day, family and friends of representatives and senators accompanied them on the floor. The few young kids that were dragged along had to resort to amusing themselves and my favorite was the boy and his Nintendo DS Lite in the middle of the house chamber floor. Because I was positioned by the back door I really only got the Governor good on his way out and luckily he stopped and waved to the people in the gallery right overhead.

It looks like I get to keep going back to the roundhouse for the rest of the week.

Roundhouse Prep

Today, Tuesday Jan. 15, 2008, was the beginning of the legislative session. Yesterday I was sent out for prep features. Orientations, vacuuming and getting id badge photos taken were pretty much all I found.

Streets of Santa Fe

We had just an hour or so to walk around Santa Fe this evening.
Although that sunset at the bottom isn't too impressive it's a rarity to see such a colorful one in Florida, at least in Gainesville. So I can't wait to start seeing more of those after my move.
