It’s been gray and rainy today and there were serious downpours at times.
As a result, there are no barking dogs or loud kids.
One could be content if there weren’t economic chaos afoot: more layoffs in the news and the stock market is way, way off again today, post-election.

John McCain’s concession on Tuesday night was one of the best speeches I’ve heard him deliver, and it got me to thinking that my earlier inclination, to wish the Obama administration ill, was perhaps misguided.
