Hey Anymouse!! good to see you! Big Grin keep up the good work mate! And congratulations councillor.

Thank you both. In two years the seat comes up for election. If I don't foul up between now and then, let's see if I can actually be elected to the post.

(To give you an idea of how elections go here, one incumbent was recently defeated in the election by a vote of 34-33 - he won - but then a ballot challenge threw out one ballot making it a tie. The tie was settled per state law [drawing lots]. That was determined by the county clerk to be a card draw from a playing card deck - he drew a deuce and the challenger an eight.)

I'd never before participated in an election decided by one vote, and it was overturned.

The Four Horsemen: hehehe. I can see it now, the big atheist takeover from a village of 128 people on the High Plains. Today the village board, tomorrow the nation. - James.
