As noted. It has been raining. A good rain without too much wind and not all at once. A soaking rain. On a less than positive note, the wind that did come along with the storm managed to knock down quite a few walnuts. Wet walnuts are not a good thing. So I will have to sweep those away and wait; more will drop. It’s guaranteed.

What else is new? Not much. A quiet Saturday after a very eventful week. We, the people, have been robbed by our leaders once more with the passage of the bailout bill. The bill was passed in record time. Yet; do you remember a groundswell of public opinion demanding that such a bill be crafted and passed? No, I didn’t think so. How long do think it would take to put together a healthcare reform bill? Would it ever pass? But hey, I’m just nitpicking. Wall Street is saved so everything must be right with world today.

With Palin/McCain in place next year, we would just have to get used to scenarios like that.
