Now we have to live with it



As I begin this post, the polls will remain open another three hours in my home town.

I picked up my daughter at college, (not that far away), and we drove to the polling place together.     It was packed.      It looked like chicken gumbo day down at the mission....

A it would be expected, the opinions were all over the map in the car to and from the church where we did our civic duty, and the rationale behind our respective decisions went from rock solid (mine) to, well, elsewhere.

But, like the title bar says, now we have to live with it.

The euphoria is over, now we all have to cry a little, the reality of our situation will begin to take shape.    It may not be as bad as we feared.      It might be worse.

By the end of the year, I am going to close this blog, and maybe start a new one, with a ne and maybe more disciplined direction.       Follow the lead of some other pioneers who have matured a bit.

If you have any ideas, or want to form a circle, a sor of cyber Algonquin Round Table, let me know.

Y'all take care
