A major storm in the area yesterday, high winds and several inches of rain, some power outages. The backyard and the driveway are littered with maple leaves, some wetly adhering to the concrete and will, if the sun comes out and does its thing, leave an imprint of the leaves thereon, in a sort of natural photographic process. Probably caused by the leaves' tannin, is my guess.
The President addressed the nation from the Oval Office yesterday, and held a press conference today. I watched both these events on television. The man comes across as a sincere human being who has strongly-held beliefs, and the determination to see his programs through. I may not agree with all his policy decisions, but in this time of war, I support him as I do our troops. Let's hope that the new constitution in Iraq will bring the country's many divergent factions together in a new, secure, and peacefully effective government, so that our men and women in uniform will be able in short order to return to their loving families. Let's hope also that the divergent, and often vitriolically partisan, views of our legislators can come together to attend to the needs of our own country in the non-partisan manner for which they were elected in the first place.
