There must be a subject here somewhere...

What can I say?  What will Trump and Co. mean for the USA and the world?  Who will suffer?  Who will be satisfied?   Questions, questions, questions...

At times I feel that he is just a big pussycat whose growl is greater than his bite.  Then at other times I don't think that and fear, at the very least, what his team and advisors might do.  Especially iffy is the way the Trump/Pence will deal with minorities especially Muslims and gay men and women.

I know we have heard it all since the election but I just hope that most Americans will accept him and give him a chance to govern.  If things do not go well there are lawful ways to make changes so rioting in the streets will accomplish absoluately nothing.

There are days I feel depressed and hold out little hope for this country.  I especially worry about the Supreme Court where Trump will set this country back a number of years with conservative appointments.  Then how is he going to deal with heads of other governments?  Will he observe standard protocols or will he make a fool of himself in their presence.

In closing I will put my full support behind the elimination of the Electoral College.  Trump was right that the election was rigged but not in the way he expected.  In recent years Al Gore and now Hillary Clinton had more popular votes than Electoral and should have been elected but that rigged way of doing things did them in.

Fall Back

Why oh why do we need Daylight Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time anymore.  It is such a botthersome thing or so it seems to me.  Let's have one or the other all year - period.
