Rain on a Dark Night

OK, the whole world has been waiting for this blog entry. It has been 12 days since I have sent anything into cyberspace, and my devotees are drooling, so here we are again. I got busy with life activities, and world events have gotten so heavy I have been weak at sorting out what is happening. The world economic crisis is ongoing and the stock markets have taken some alltime dives, and outfits all over the US are throwing people off the payrolls, but fuel prices are going down into the 2.50 a gallon range, which is good, even though some "expert" today on NPR said that will be bad for the environment and people will begin driving more again than they were when gas was 4 bucks a gal. Screw NPR and All Things Considered. It appears that Obama has enough voters lined up to make him President, even though the more the guy talks the less I like him. That is my own opinion and I'm stickin to it. And Biden said the other day that he knows that sometime in Obama's first 6 months the Us will be attacked by somebody or some country that wants to test Ob's Resolve. Wish Biden would tell what he knows from secret sources. Only 10 days left till the election. Get the thing over with. The flap of today was that the Republicans have spent 150 thousand to style-up Palin's clothes and makeup to make her a stunner. She is supposed to be in Des Moines Saturday afternoon. I would like to see her downtown but may not get to. Will have to check tomorrow about getting a ticket to her show. I got a flu shot the other day and have been in a droop ever since till I get the immunity built up in me. A prelude to winter arrived in the midwest this afternoon and it has been raining dreary and the temp. has been dropping. Long pants in place of shorts are now in order and sweat shirts and flannel shirts are flying off the racks at thrift stores. So it seems that the national uniform of shorts and tshirts and sandals are to be put away or tossed out till next spring. It happens every year--the course of Nature on earth. Maybe next spring we will not have the tornado and flooding mess we had this year; can only wait and see what happens when next spring arrives. I have some opinions about the economic crisis that are not very nice and my attitudes about a lot of current happenings are very grouchy, so I will not inflict my readers with what I really think about a lot of things. My idealism I had back in the 60s seems to gone far far away. And I am getting more sour as I get older. That's just It, I guess. I think this is going to be all for right now, so you readers can get some sleep, as I need to too. You all take care. Di di mau!
