Same Sex Marriage Used to Be Illegal? Really?!
Here is why I think future generations wll find that so shocking:
- Same-sex marriage is not a tax. It doesn’t cost anybody anything, unless they choose to go out and get a marriage license to marry their partner.
- There are no penalties if you choose not to get a same-sex marriage. It’s entirely voluntary. If you choose not to marry a partner of the same sex, you won’t go jail or face a fine.
- Same-sex marriage is not a mandate. Businesses and local government will not have to do anything to adopt to the change, and indeed all of the same tax forms and paperwork as it continues.
- Nobody loses any rights under same-sex marriage. Don’t like it, then don’t marry somebody of the same sex.
People who oppose same-sex marriage are really going to look backwards, when we look back, years from now.
Decided to head out to the Green Mountains on Friday …
I just need to get away from it all this weekend. I was going to head out to Schoharie but I’m leaning towards the Green Mountains as I heard that Forest Road 71 is now open and I can camp along it, ride it on Saturday, go swimming in that swimming hole under the bridge by Somerset Airfield, and just relax and have a good weekend. Maybe the following weekend if the weather is hot and sunny head up to the Potholers, but the forecast could change before then, and this way I have cell service in much of that area, and can work from camp if need be.
Well, I thought things were good
Riding into work today, I thought that rear tire seemed a little low. Uh, oh — I realized when I went out to work, I am low on air. 🚴 I am going to bring my bike in the office, and take the wheel home tonight and see if I can patch it. That way at least I can ride home tomorrow if it holds, or I’ll get another tube on Friday when I get supplies prior to heading out camping. Not been a good week for Blackie for sure.
