Lots more flowers opened up this morning. Including red Gladiolus. Only one stalk has bloomed so far but daughter and I agree they are beautiful. Still have a couple dozen yet to bloom, red and purple. I was right that she was happy seeing the flowers.
We went swimming today. First pool we went to was an indoor pool. Waited an hour to get in. We were there for about 30 minutes when they mad everyone leave the pool because someone defecated or vomited in the pool. So, we went to another pool. An outdoor pool. It was Customer Appreciation Day, so entrance was free and they gave away watermelon and snow cones.
Watched "Oz The Great and Powerful" on DVD. Turned out she had just watched it with her mother the night before. She still enjoyed it, especially the blooper reel. I loved it. While I loved Mila Kunis in her part, I note it was an error to cast someone her height for that role, when the same character in the original was considerably taller.
Little additional information to what I wrote about the Forbes report yesterday. Not long ago, it was reported that New Mexico was the only US state to have decreased in population in the last two years. Every other state increased population or remained (dynamically) static.
I also saw where the same group who delivered a petition to a grocery chain protesting the use of English as the primary language at work (with exceptions for customer who speak Spanish), also are protesting something else. They are protesting against legislators who accept donations from business lobbyists (apparently a total of around $1000) and against businesses that lobby for legal changes favorable to business. They posted an article patting themselves on the back for "..keeping companies out (of New Mexico)." I understand and often agree with election reform. I do not agree with driving employers out and discouraging new employers from coming in. Nor do I agree with trying to draw companies in that have a successful business model in other states, then forcing them to change that model once they begin business here.
