Former Texas Gov. Ann Richards told those at the rally about Miriam "Ma" Ferguson, a Texas governor during the 1920s. The driving issue then was whether to punish school children for speaking Spanish. Richards related, "They asked Ma how she stood on the issue, and she said if the English language was good enough for Jesus Christ, it was good for the schoolchildren of Texas. There are still people who believe Jesus Christ spoke English. And they all voted for George Bush."

It's been lovely and rainy out, and I spent a quiet evening correcting papers next tothreetimes and then playing cards with tutordennis (and the kitties) in front of a crackling fire. Dennis made nummy African ground-nut stew for dinner, which added to the autumn-like atmosphere (must be the sweet potatoes). There's something about a rainy day that makes me want to eat soup and curl up in the window seat of a big bay window in a room with a fireplace.
