Lucid Idiocy is going on vacation

Lucid Idiocy will be on hiatus starting Saturday July 11 and returning July 26. I'll be traveling and unlikely to update. I hope you have a nice two weeks. And by "have a nice two weeks," I mean "miss me terribly and comb through the L.I. archives."

State to whammy veterans

I know the state has to cut its budget, but telling war veterans they need to get out is a tough one. I'm working on a longer story, but here are the basics:

Eighty-two veterans will need a new place to live soon, because the living area at the Wheeler Building on the Georgia War Veterans Home campus in Milledgeville is scheduled to close due to state budget cuts.

Other portions of the building will remain open, but veterans in the assisted living unit are receiving letters telling them they will need to move within 90 days. The assisted living quarters will close Nov. 30, according to a news release from the Georgia Department of Veterans Service.
