A mighty wind, a bit of rain, and just like that:

After the most beautiful fall I remember, capped with a perfect Thanksgiving weekend, it's over in a gust. Is it an omen for what's to come today? An election result that will put us exactly where we started? Only mistrusting and loathing the people who fought this election even more than we did when it started? Bleak...none of the leaders or parties inspiring us...? A waste of money and energy at a time we needed leadership more than ever?

No doubt the winter of our discontent will follow this ill wind.

Sigh.

Thanks and good luck.
