Prairie Princess endorses Ken Pentel

Flowers are in their prime this time of year - even with the current heat wave they seem to stand out and do their best to attract the buzzing bees.



I played some tennis with the geezers. It was a two bottles of Powerade day - one per set. It always seems like on hot box days I have long, close sets. Again today, I had two close sets and finished playing until almost six o'clock. 7-6, 5-7. The temperature was still 88 on my car thermometer on the way home.

Big news from PP's political party. Apparently she decided to endorse a candidate, Ken Pentel. Here's a photo of Ken Pentel, the Ecology Democracy Party (EDP) candidate for Minnesota's governor.



Ken Pentel is a 49 year-old Minnesota native and former Green Party gubernatorial candidate with 11 years of work experience with Greenpeace and 12 years of work experience developing the Minnesota Green Party. Ken is the founding director of the Ecology Democracy Network.

He is also a hardcore bicycle rider having ridden 6000 miles in two years in campaigning around the state. He has a Wikipedia article here. Here is another shot of him on his bike (photo by Kelsey) as he campaigned earlier this year in Minneapolis.



Minnesota politics are great.
