The weather
this morning is gray and overcast. It is
as if it senses the mood of the nation, and has decided the sun wasn’t going to
get out of bed and brighten everyone’s mood.
Rather the sun would lounge around in its night coat, and shuffle
through the day in its slippers while it sipped a cup of decaffeinated Joe, that was becoming
too cool, too fast.
Maybe this
will all change later, after the sun has had a chance to consider the
opportunities and its mood improves, but I’m guessing not!
On a related
note, the social media weather experts tell me there are no hurricanes in the
immediate future, but they (the meteorologists) are keeping a watchful, or
hopeful, eye out for stuff that could develop if the weather changes. I believe I’ve moved beyond the idea that
weatherman/women have our best interests at heart, and think of them as just
people who have a really big office pool going on who will predict the next
major weather catastrophe. It seems more
like Mega Ball than actual forecasting.
As a number
of political analysts have predicted; at least ½ of the nation will wake up
tomorrow feeling they have been “sucker punched” by whoever wins this
election. While I would like to feel
hopeful the next President will be better than the last one or two I am not
holding my breath. The forecast for the
next four years is for turbulence, intransigence, favoritism, and political
graft. It really doesn’t matter which candidate wins, the top 1% will get
richer, the bottom 99% will not, because integrity, honesty, and fair play does
not matter to the average voter, so it won’t matter to the politicians.
The day is
gray, and all the leaves are brown.
