Hey gang,

It's been a couple of weeks since I last sent an update. Time sure flies when you don't receive any inquiries concerning your whereabouts!

Here's the scoop so far: Robert "The Traveller" Hill came to visit. (For those who don't know: check the comments here for a taste of Mr. Hill's style.) Not me, specifically. First, he stopped by to see Sen. Rosa Franklin. He didn't get in because he was carrying a gun. We're told it's a toy gun, but the state police don't look too kindly on that.

Next, he went to visit Sen. Debbie Regala.

[More:]

This time, he got in. And the good senator took notes on the conversation. The notes look like so:

Robert Hill -
support SB 6860 - carrying guns on higher ed campus.
oppose 6841 - banning guns on higher ed campus.
repeal 9.6.8 - obscenity and pornography.
repeal 9A.88.085 - promoting travel for prostitution.
repeal 29A.20.021 - qualifications for filing/appearance on ballot.
decriminalize all of RCW 9A.88 - indecent exposure - prostitution.
limit distances that cities/counties can send incarcerated people away from their families.

Other than that, I've been pretty busy. Last week, I was on a bus with Sen. John McCain. To answer a few questions: No, he's not short. No, he does not use self-tanner. And yes, I did get a photo.

Also, get this: You know how Tacoma has a Derek Young? Olympia has one, too. This one is really nice and sends me e-mails like, "hey, here's information." And I'm like, "thanks!"

What about you guys? Anything new?

Hope you're swell.
XOXO,
Niki

P.S. That care package you surely sent after my last letter must have gotten lost in the mail. I'll contact the postmaster general.
