Code Neon Blue!

My list of things to get done before I take off on Friday for RootsCamp in Denver wasn’t cooperating today. My fault, really, because it’s hard to trim a list when you’re adding two new things for every one you finish.

Emailing back and forth with our county chair Randa about precinct caucus locations reminded me of yet ANOTHER thing to add. I had been planning to check with the local papers as to whether they had the info for an announcement of the deadline to register or change party affiliation, December 5th.

I guess in my mind the Lamar Ledger is still a 5 day a week paper. Imagine my dismay when the editor told me they were working on putting Friday’s edition to bed Right Then, Even As We Spoke. But IF I could get her something fast, MAYBE there was still a chance to run it Friday.

It was 3:50 and I was supposed to be somewhere at 4:00. Could I write a couple paras on the hows, whys and wheres of registering party affiliation in order to be eligible to vote at precinct caucuses on February 5th in that ten minute time frame?

Turns out I could. Huh.
