I'm pregnant, apparently

I get similarly helpful answers from eBay.

Not about my pregnancy though.

I'm pretty sure it was automated, since Winslow is actually one hell of a trek for a homeless, pregnant, disabled woman to make from Kayenta. There's surely a closer WIC office than Winslow. I do give Marcos brownie points though for being right on top of his e-mails. He must have read it and replied first thing he got into the office this morning.

Or maybe not. Your call.

That IS a bit of a problem. The system currently has me tucked into a slot as a Colorado resident who already receives the few crumbs of assistance Colorado throws at its disabled population - no doubt hoping that we will all crawl away and die soon.

I'd have to divest myself of Colorado's clutches and give myself over to the tender mercies of the state of Arizona if I wanted to make a legal stand against the Arizona legislature.

On the other hand, I could make a quick hit and run on the Kayenta office just to see how the folks there would respond. I'm sure a good time would be had by all, especially if I had a little voice activated tape recorder in my pocket. They'd have a real hard time finding me afterward with an address like "10 miles down the road from the Chinle Chapter house, then 2 miles west up the wash toward Jim Chee's hogan. Follow the path from there up to the ridge where Old Lady Begay of the Born to Water Clan grazes her sheep." They wouldn't need to know my real name or SSN either, since it would only be a single guerilla strike.

I'll need to plot a strategy for sure. The person I really need is that brat Cicero. I have e-mailed her with an invitation to conduct some civil obediance - it's right up her ally, but she's a hard gal to pin down these days. I don't suppose anyone here has been in touch with her recently?
