Excellent !!!

I had to move my TV from FOX News Channel to local channel 5 at 6 p.m. last night to see what the heck was going on regarding redistricting. They said that they were expecting a vote tonight, and that it was expected to pass.

Now on to the Senate - for the REAL fight ! Don't you know there has been SOME kinda deal-makin' going on there the last week ?? I hope it passes there - crosses fingers, toes . . . eyes ! hehe!
