Chilly!

According to the wireless thermometer, it’s already down to 32.2° this morning and it will surely go lower before the sun rises. That means that I need to make a decision soon; Light a fire or let the furnace run. If I light the fire, then we have to worry about the kids getting too close to it. Letting the furnace run equals $$$. Decisions! OK, the furnace just kicked on and so my decision making dilemma is postponed.

This day in history…
On Nov. 25, 1986, the Iran-Contra affair erupted as President Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to Nicaraguan rebels.

History is such a wonderful teacher. Yet we ignore it at our peril. And we certainly did that when we allowed W to run the country, and in a manner that smacks of Reaganism; including W’s resurrection of some of the key players in Reagan’s scheme.
