Happy Birthday, batwrangler!
Tuesday January 29, 2013 Minnesota Daily: City Council member Gary Schiff will run for mayor of Minneapolis, largely on his record of support for small business. The story notes that some members of the business community give him low marks because of his opposition to a tax-supported Vikings (American football) stadium. Two reasons for me to vote for him.

I don't want governments subsidizing professional sports. Not with taxes, not with any kind of bonds, not etc. I generally support fewer regulations and restrictions on small businesses; but unlike Ayn Rand and other big-spending advocates, I don't support government subsidization of big business.

***Magus Books. Bought T. M. Luhrmann, Persuasions of the Witch's Craft: Ritual Magic in Contemporary England. I'd decided I needed my own copy.

Also two stones to use for meditation focus.

Magus sells books and other stuff for Pagans. I'm an agnostic and a materialist. (I'm not an atheist mostly because I think being certain there is no God or gods would require godlike powers.) But some things work, even if the theories behind their use are false.

On to Southeast Library. Picked up book on hold: The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability.

***Met with my ACA sponsor at Muddsuckers Coffee. [ACA: Adult Children of Alcoholic and Otherwise Dysfunctional Families.]
