But not for much longer: Actual voting in the presidential primary process finally happens today, with the Iowa Republican and Democratic caucuses. Will Donald Trump dominate the GOP field? Will Hillary Clinton hold off Bernie Sanders? Time will tell.
However, one thing is for sure: After today, we can go back to not caring about Iowa for another four years.
I call shotgun: Cars need at least three occupants in order to avoid tolls on the I-405 carpool lanes during peak morning and afternoon rush hour. But so far, not many cars are meeting that threshold. As many as 85 percent of drivers are paying tolls, state data show.
There’s an easy explanation for that: Nobody wants to ride in the backseat and arrive at work feeling queasy.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1861, Texas voted to secede from the Union.
In response, the Union voted to tell Texas to not let the door hit it on the keister on the way out.
