May 2012

I am happy--even though it's a trifle chilly--went down to 38F or lower last night, won't get up to 70F today.

It's probably that giddiness that comes from ignoring an overtaking reality, but it will do for now.

Actually, I am happy that events are breaking loose of elitist manipulation--the sooner the games end, the sooner the real reconstruction (and prosecution) can begin.
