Election Poll Results

I'm keeping track of the polling data as displayed on http://www.electoral-vote.com/ here:

To easily view side-by-side the changes from 2004 to now and periodically from now until the election.

Why? I don't know. OCD? ...just thought someone else out there might be interested.

unsalted peanuts

The answer to the question "Can you just rinse salted peanuts and use them as unsalted peanuts in a recipe" is yes.

Nice quote on perspective:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman: "It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death. "They all eat one another!" he cried, and called it evil. This process I examined, changed the verb, said, "They all feed one another," and called it good."
