I am on vacation !

Sorry, I haven't posted in the last week, we loaded up the kids and headed to a family reunion. The picture you see to the left is of a stop-over in Arizona.

We are all having a great time and its been a blast. We have been in Florida for the last few days and over the last weekend we had a nice time with extended family. Internet access is spotty out here, so I have have actually travelled into town and am at a coffee shop and using a dail-up to post today.

Perhaps, if you read this, you can send me information on all the happenings in Orange, I feel very uninformed. Any news on Denis Bildoeau and his midnight cleaning of the streets of political signs? Does Carol "The Beach Bunny" Rudat, still live in town?

Ok, thats it, have a great day, below is a picture of the entire family at our reunion.

Victories in Orange !!

The City was all abuzz yesterday, I saw a number of folks through out the day. I saw people picking at intersection against Carolyn, and I saw some of our electeds and the candidates out on the street waving..in restaurants talking. When it was time I went and I voted.

I have to say, one thing that totally annoyed me was the 10 million automated phone calls. It is just rude and got old really quickly.

Enough of that.....

I want to offer my congrats to the Cities "New Team"

Mayor - Carolyn Cavecche
and
City Councilmembers - Mark Murphy and Denis Bilodeau


CITY OF ORANGE Member, City Council

Vote Count Percentage

MARK A. MURPHY 12850 32.3%
DENIS BILODEAU 8261 20.8%
CAROL RUDAT 5203 13.1%

I put the vote totals in for one reason, I think all have heard about the amount of money the carpetbagging Carol Rudat spent to try and make people believe she lived in orange her whole life. So my thought is, get out of Orange, we have spoken, we don't like you, and we don't want you!

PHIL MARTINEZ 4075 10.2%
FRANK FINN 2635 6.6%
ROBERT L. DOUGLAS 2243 5.6%

The Big Day !!!!

Today is the day,

The candidates have done more then enough for me to form my opinion of them.

I will keep it very very simple, I am going to vote the following way for the local races:

Mayor:

Carolyn Cavecche

Why? I don't think she owns a boarding house!

City Council:

Mark Murphy
Denis Bilodeau

Why? Murphy is good guy and has done a pretty good job, not great but good. Denis, because he lives Orange, unlike his main challenger that I strongly believe lives in Newport Beach.

OUSD Trustee's

Coming later.
