9989 - Monday.

Well, it's a little over a year since Obama has taken office.

I haven't looked for a while, but I looked at the Obameter just to see where he stands. Off the 500 promises being tracked.... see below.

Promise Kept 54
Compromise 14
Promise Broken 7
Stalled 17
In the Works 149
Not yet rated 274

Two of my touchpoints, the use of torture and closing guantanamo are both listed as "in the works", more detail at the links.

far too many pictures from yesterday's walkabout - lots of fun with Larry, Chris, and BHK on a lovely autumn hike. Did a bit of geocaching, too - dropped off the meagan and paris bugs.

We also met Aaron Greene at the Cypress Swamp... he's a very talented photographer!

It's actually not quite a year. It'll be a year on Friday.

ah, yes, you're right... I would like to see the obameter rate the "unrated" 274 that are currently untouched.

Actually didn't he take office on Jan 22, 2009? He just was elected in November.

I just looked it up - you are right.. I meant since elected rather than took office.

9989? Are you planning a BIG 10,000 post? A posting Spectaculaaaaarrrr? A gala event? Can I dress up and wear something sparkly or can we celebrate in some way?
