Wife is taking the oldest out today to get her first tattoo. Something she designed herself that's going on her leg.

Thankfully, it looks like we passed the school renewal levy. Without it, we'd have been in big trouble.
You'll also be happy to know that billboard guy running unopposed did, in fact, win. :D

My oldest has six of them now, I think. I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is.

We also had some unopposed local politics. Why bother with the advertising (costs) ?

Indeed. My only thought is he had donations and felt like he needed to spend them on the campaign. Either way, helps the local economy, I guess.

She's definitely paying for it herself, but no, the wife isn't getting a matching one. Though, I think she did consider it for a couple of seconds.

Beauty can make you overlook crazy. That's for sure.

Vivien Leigh...all the beauty and twice the crazy.
That sounded callous. Sorry.
Vivien Leigh suffered from bipolarity and was prone to episodes of psychosis. By accounts she could manage it courageously until the psychosis set in, and even so she somehow managed to inspire even people she'd badly wronged to care for and protect her.
My brother is a Type 1 Bipolar, and it is a common pattern among siblings that if one is Type 1, one of the others will be a Cyclothymic. Guess who won that lottery?
Cyclothymia is a "milder" form of bipolarity, in which there are long periods of slight elevation, punctuated by short, sharp plummets into the black hole of depression. My therapist once likened it to walking around for weeks always with two martinis in me, and then a cumulative hangover sets in for a day.
I was in my forties before it was diagnosed. But it made life hell for my wife two or three times a year for twenty years.
So, anyway, I really wasn't mocking Vivien Leigh.

I didn't think you were being callous. Merely sharing an observation. We all have our crosses to bear. We don't judge.
