I agree the option vote is material and important. However, a whole herd of horses lay dead in the path of this message board over the last few days. Some will stick to their present position and others will flip flop many times before the actual vote. I don't see any way the measure will not pass handily; this board would have to vote like a solid block to have an effect on the result. And this board will NOT vote solidly one way or the other, and that's fine, but gee whiz, what else can be said.

Ali's passing is sad, but brings back nothing but terrific and vivid memories, almost all good. Love him, hate him, don't care much either way, but you have to say, he was one of a kind and lived an incredible life. One of the most recognizable people on the planet, he really lost that unmistakeable look in the last year or so when he lost a lot of weight.
