Miscellany

Sorry about no Flashback Friday or Select It Sunday last weekend. I had thought I had posts scheduled, and I’m not sure what happened — whether I made a mistake or whether WordPress had a hiccup or something. Anyway, things should proceed as normal next weekend.

I’m working on a really BIG list for Make-a-List Monday. So big, in fact, that I’m having to split it up into parts. I’ve been working on this list since May and have run Part #1. Part #2 — western states — is nearing completion; I just have about half of California left. Still purging as well. I’m expecting to purge around 50 cases today, maybe more.

The Charley Project’s Facebook page now has almost 2,500 likes: it’s at 2,453. Cool.

Make-a-List Monday: Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese people

MPs who are originally from China, Japan and Vietnam. I decided it was sufficient if the person was just raised there, even if I don’t know for sure they were born there. Needless to say, there’s probably quite a few people I missed, since I rarely find out an MP’s national origin.
