I keep seeing references to impeachment of the incoming President after the election from both sides of the political fence. Most Americans equate impeachment with removal from office, but impeachment does not always result in removal from office, so what is impeachment? It is the formal charges of wrong doing passed by the House of Representatives. The Senate serves as the court judging the alleged crimes. A verdict of guilty can result in removal from office. This link to the House of Representatives webpage explains things a bit further.

Rest Area Shennanigans
Sometimes we still travel on land, and when we do, we stop at rest areas. Sometimes you have an unintended adventure--it's just Murphy's way.
So, for those baby boomers out there . . . you remember what your mom told you about using public toilets right? Never touch the seat, squat over it. I was following my mother's advice at a rest area, when the paper got stuck. I gently tugged the end of the paper, and the entire roll jumped into the toilet behind me, roller and all. In my mind, I can hear my dad saying that you can't flush that because it will clog the toilet, so . . . I whorl around to see the damage just in time to hear the automatic flusher kick in. I scream "noooooooo!" Then I do the unthinkable and grab the roll from the tainted water and hurl it into the trash can across the room, just in the nick of time. I then wash my hands very thoroughly several times and exit the lady's room nonchalantly, confident that I have averted a near disaster.

Hot Ice Issue
We were informed by email on Saturday that another of the liveaboard ammenities is being taken away. Ice, which was to be included in our liveaboard fees (1 10 lb bag a day), will now cost residents a bargain price of $1.50 a bag. The charge for everyone else has gone from $2.25 to $2.50. Many of the liveaboards in our marina are elderly and/or on a fixed income. If those same folks are depending on that daily ration of ice, their cost for living here just went up $45 a month. This is not right.
