Great to be back

Just one hour from Sacramento to Portland, and another hour to get off the plane, get bag, take bus to parking, and drive home.

Not ready to plunge into work this morning. Will drive Dylan to summer school, then probably take myself out to breakfast. Three days of 'motel breakfast buffet' makes me yearn for a damn egg.

Meanwhile, the Middle East simmers, Nigerian pipelines are attacked, and oil tops $78 a barrel. In a few months, $78-a-barrel oil and $3-a-gallon gas will seem like a fond memory.

Thanks, George - the world has definitely been affected by your tenure in office. History will not fail to take note of you, if that was your goal.

    Yup, ol's Shrub has proven himself to be the biggest piece of horse excrement ever to disgrace the office of the President. Sadly, we suspected such would be the case, but I'd really hoped that he would prove us wrong. In fact, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Rove, et al have unfortunately demonstrated a repeated contempt for the sancity of life, the liberties we thought were guaranteed by the Constitution, and the trust the American citizens had put in our officials (whether elected or appointed) to do the right thing. Instead, we see that the current administration has little use for honesty and open communication and compassion. The level of disgust I feel when thinking about these people is far beyond words.
