As a function of habit lately, I got out of bed and shuffled to the living room to check on the storms. We are just looking at reporters under blue skies looking at heaps of wreckage. From what we have been hearing, a difference of just twenty miles in the storm track may have saved $150 Billion in damages. Thanks, Cuba, for scrubbing off some of the angry energy!

Our old neighborhood in Jacksonville is underwater, with the damage stretching all the way to Key West. The power of nature is something amazing to behold, isn’t it?

Almost as amazing as the President having Democrats over to dinner. The debt ceiling can has been kicked down the road to Christmas- meaning more continuing resolutions so no hard choices have to be made right now. And so, it is back to politics here in The Swamp. Hopefully they won’t be ‘as usual,’ but I am not holding my breath.

I am eager to get a copy of Hillary Clinton’s new book, so she can help me understand What Happened. I think I have a general idea.
