Nov. 6, 2007 - Ohio Statehouse on MySpace.com

The Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus has a new website... I think it is new anyway. I know it is not the one I have visited before, mostly because old links to the Ohio Statehouse seem to be broken.

Pretty site. It's new in lots of ways, like the Ohio Statehouse (known as the People's House) being on MySpace.com The Statehouse website has tours, videos, it's very up to date looking

Gee I am on MySpace too and I felt old.

Information about real estate in Columbus and Central Ohio from an agent with the number one company in Central Ohio, Real Living HER.

Above are profiles from ActiveRain, a real estate network. Chris Elizabeth Griffith emailed me Wednesday morning to ask if the leaves were changing in Ohio. An Ohio girl who has not been back in 20 years, Chris sells real estate in Florida. Those Florida real estate agents are aggressive.

Colorful Chris is Pink for October for Breast Cancer Awareness month.... when she changes her photo back to another after October there will be a red x there.... colorful. ActiveRain is a real estate network. ActiveRain is all about points. Was Chris email about leaves or to see if I knew she'd just passed me in points, that she is number 5 and I have dropped to number 6?

The leaves.... what do you think? I think late and not a lot of red and orange so far this year.

Leaves changing could mean time to head to Florida for some Ohio snow birds... or do most wait for the snow? Wait until after the holidays?

Leaves... Ohio leaves this is about changing colors not moving to Florida or is it?

The official site for Ohio leaf color change has a video with "Casey Munchel a fall color expert" and much more. The second upate dated October 11 says peak should be in two weeks. Or a week from now? Nah? I think "peak" is still almost two weeks off here in Central Ohio but what do I know? I underestood our lack of rain (it's raining now) and warm autumn were keeping the trees from changing this year.

This weekend could be gorgeous after the rain even if the trees are not what they are some years.

I have not been to Hocking Hills this year. We visited some of the Metro Parks earlier this fall but there really was very little change in the trees then.

Nov. 6, 2006 - Ohio Vote

Remember to bring ID with your current address on it to the polls in Ohio on Tuesday.  

Info about voting

Take ID 

On election eve 2006... I am still undecided about Issue 3.  I thought originally I was anti-gambling because... well I was brought up that gambling is evil... then a poll  / discussion here about a Columbus magazine article about a pie in the sky non-issue, should City Center become a casino??.. got votes but I believe they thought they were voting on Issue 3. Some of the discussion makes me wonder if letting the states surrounding us lure Ohio gamblers out of state is such a good idea. 



Issue 3 Gambling in Ohio - Slot Machines at Race Tracks and two locations in Cleveland

Select an option:

Yes

No

 

 

 

Business First Columbus is calling the state level races:  "Final Ohio Poll has Dems winning governor, Senate races"    All I can say is thank goodness the commercials will be over. I saw a site with YouTube videos of political ads.  Why?  Hasn't everyone had their fill? 

"An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it. "  George Bernard Shaw

If you want some practice voting:

A non existant gambling issue... A casino in downtown Columbus


Issue 4 - Smokeless Ohio - supported by the tobacco industry - a constitutional amendment

Issue 5 - Smokefree Ohio - supported by the American Cancer Society


Best Search for local Homes - nothing to do with politics

Best columbus Mexican Food  - even less to do with politics
