- Happened in the fall of 2017. I don't remember this story, so maybe many of you reading this posting might also find interest.
- On that Saturday in October, 52-year old Juli on a bike was passed by an imposing convoy of black SUV's on the road outside the Trump National Golf Club. Hey, he was then President of the USA.
- She is a single mother of two teens and a marketing analyst for a military subcontractor. Or was, for she got fired when an AFP photograph of her finger went viral.
- While some viewed her defiant finger as a sign of resistance, she received insults and threats.
- She sued her former employer for unfair dismissal, but her case was dismissed.
- She has a journalism degree from Ohio State and a master's in business administration from The Johns Hopkins University, and found a job.
- Was asked to run for county supervisor as a Democrat.
- Her marathon-running attitude persuaded her to not only be that person who flipped the President, but had more to offer.
- She lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, the wealthiest in the country.
- Of course her "fame" got donations from across the country, with media attention, but still gets death threats.
- She beat a Republican supervisor and to gain a seat on the board.
- She was re-elected in 2023 and now serves as Vice Chair.
- 65-year old K Padmarajan, tire repair shop owner and homeopathic remedy provider from Mettur, Tamil Nadu,India, is gearing up to run for office again.
- Known as the Election King of India, he has failed to win 239 straight times.
- He has lost to Narendra Modi, Atal Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi and many others.
- Says he has spent thousands of his own dollars, for a typical race requires a security deposit of $300, and the money does not get refunded if he fails to reach 16% of the vote.
- A typical campaign could well be, say, for a Mettur assembly seat, where the victor might get 75,000 votes, to his 6,273. But he says he expected no votes, so that showed people are accepting him.
- He does not get stressed, for he expects to lose, and meets his goal.
- His reputation has grown to where he now is asked to address students about resilience, and how to bounce back from defeat.
- Asked what would happen if he won? He'd get a heart attack.
This 1.8 liter of Koshi No Kandai was a gift from a Japanese friend. Note that building to the right. It sits over Terminal 21. The whole meal with the free sake cost around $20.
