36 Percent, 14 More Days

So, the latest Gallup poll reports that Bush’s approval rating has fallen to 36 percent.
This puts Bush in the company of his father, Nixon and Jimmy Carter for the worst approval ratings of a sitting President (29% in 6/92, 28% in 6/79 and 24% in 8/74, respectively).


On a more mundane level, the Sagamore Bridge will be down to two lanes for 14 more weekdays. Last night, it wasn’t too bad: six minutes from the first back-up to the foot of the bridge. Fortunately, alternative routes are available.
Firmly in the grip of Spring fever and commuting issues aside, this is one of those weeks in which I wouldn’t mind having a part-time work schedule. Seeing all the new growth under the leaves removed last weekend is great motivation for even more yard work and, although it’s still early, planting.
Onward, ever onward.
