Flutterby™! : Chattanooga politics

Sometimes I get into these slumps about the costs of living in the Bay Area, and maybe I'd be happy if I could find a good job somewhere in the heartland, and pay cash for a house and... Then the Chattanooga folk unwittingly drag me back to reality. There's a big push to do "10 Commandments" related stuff in Hamilton County, resulting in County Commissioner Curtis Adams challenging atheists to meet him face to face: "Any weakling can write letters. Let's see if he has the guts to face us." Mike Kelley forwarded me this report tom has taken him up on the offer. Go tom! Ya know, it's very beautiful there, and I love the ready access to the outdoors, and I know a bunch of really cool people, but I am remembering that it wasn't just the career that made me come to the Bay Area.
