Ah! The country life…without water. I turned off the power to the well last night so that the ground can absorb some the flood before the plumber arrives. That will happen sometime this morning. And I say that with some measure of pessimism as this the same plumber that told us he would be right back (twice) and then showed up very much later, and only after being called by the insurance company. This would be the same insurance company that now says that paragraph 7, sub-paragraph B, clause 5.E, in really teeny tiny print, exempts them from any liabilities in this. Ya gotta love them!
So I think we will go away this morning; go into Chico and do some chores, sip a latte, read a newspaper, visit the nursery; all while the plumber fiddles. It’s certainly better to do that than to sit here, frustrated, and watch him. And with any luck at all, when we return he will be gone.
Though I’m not a fan of any political party, I’m quite happy with the results of the election. The House was designed to be our defense against a president who had more ambition than common sense. With a weak congress that thought Dubya walked on water…we were definitely in trouble. Now there is balance. I can feel it.
Along with balance comes change. And let the waffling begin! Every pronouncement that comes from the White House from now on should be compared to the previous statements made by the man who was going to stay the course…it’s going to be a riot!
On another note; do we really want impeachment? Does he deserve it? Oh, yes! But look at what we would get if he were removed from office. Cheney. With his physical problems, he has a very different outlook on life and I don’t think he would feel bound by the normal moral restrictions that govern the actions of those contemplating a long and pleasant life. Does he scare me? You bet he does! Both Dick and Karl need “impeachment”. If such a thing were possible, we wouldn’t have to worry about Dubya.
