12/7/2005 -- News and music on the Mohawk trail

The polarized climate in Washington D.C. continues to have odd effects on the polarized climate in ANWR. The AP reports that there are 2 dozen or so Republican assemblyfolks who will reliably vote against drilling in ANWR, and 2 dozen or so Democrats who cancel them out. Normally, that's pretty boring news.

However, the latest attempt to open up ANWR to oil drilling is an end run around the fillibuster. The way it works is this: if you propose a bill to open up the land to drilling, you need 60 votes in the senate because someone can fillibuster. But if you stick drilling into the budget, then you only need 50 votes, since you can't fillibuster a budget.

Clever, but the strategy got tripped in the house, due to the 2 dozen or so aforementioned Republicans. Apparantly they are sticking to their guns while the Democrats remain unanimous in oppostion.

Bottom line? I will probably make it to ANWR before Exxon.

A little closer to home, the wife urged my eldest to ask me about my "horns." I used to play clarinet decently and trumpet poorly. I brought 'em out and handed the trumpet off to the 4 year old. He can play a pretty mean blatt. I was delighted to learn that there is some memory left in my fingers. They still make all the same mistakes as they used to (e.g. resting an inch off the holes when not in use) but I was able to play some of the pieces I used play right reasonably.

12,000 swinging steps today. Cheers,
