8. The only benefit (and just to my family)

from this whole horrible mess is that my WWII veteran DH who is now completely bed bound and cannot do anything other than watch tv - can't even use the remote - is actually absorbed by CNN. He never cared to watch tv for more than an hour or so in a week in his entire long life, and I was afraid that in his present condition time would drag by for him and he would be depressed. But he's completely caught up in the daily bizarreness of it all. I tease him by telling him that if Hillary had won, he'd be bored to tears by her routine competence and complete lack of drama. For him, a very small silver lining.
