ProducerBadBob: hi RS

RallySally: Doug LaMalfa has already announcedthat he is going to vote for McCarty. They were roomates when first elected.

RallySally: McCarthy.

Jarhead: is that his way of coming out ?

RallySally: LOL!

Jarhead: not that there is anything wrong with that !!

RallySally: He also voted for the CR (continuing resolution) which conatained "no NEW funding" for Planned Parenthood. Lots of "old" funding though! He thinkswe're stupid.

Jarhead: he's so smart that there is no way we would be able to embrace the complexities of politics and getting things done...we should just trust he is looking out for us

RallySally: The next vote will be Dec. 11th-when they hope no one will be paying attention.

Jarhead: I wonder what they will throw up as a distraction

RallySally: Christmas shopping!

RallySally: Kevin McCarthy is a younger Boehner-he has been groomed by him.

Jarhead: too easy Sally, they are more creative than that

Sungold: I never knew there was this type of orgainization here in Redding where one could adopt a horse for the family. I think that is great. I have cousins who have been around horses all

Sungold: their lives. The horse I rode all my young life was a horse around 20 years old. He was a doll. Horses cost a lot of money to keep but they sure can be fun.

Doc: Greets all, some time in future - hope to hear about CARB and Coordination. It seems COR and Shasta County (and others) have simply decided to allow CARB to turn the screws without a challenge.

Sungold: Question: I heard a physician speak last week who said that in a very short time, 1 in two children would have autism. What does Rachel think about this statement?

Sungold: I Googled Rachel Hatch and it is amazing the places this lady has worked, the things she has done, and her vast interests. Very impressive!

ProducerBadBob: Sunny trying to tie that into her tech expertise...are you asking if technology causes autism?
