WHAT A GREAT ANNIVERSARY!

Today is Wednesday, November 8, 2017. One year ago, on Wednesday November 7, 2016 there was a political earthquake that struck the United States of America. It's name was Donald Trump. I voted for Trump, I had very low expectations that he was going to win. I even believe that he did not think that he was going to win. I know that his opponent definitely didn't think that he was going to win. But win he did. I think that he is doing a great job, although he is saddled with a completely useless Congress. The Democrats, many of which are such crybabies that they stayed home for Turmp's inauguration are unwilling to support anything proposed by Trump. And the feckless Republicans have not been much better. Those clowns in the Republican Party campaigned for nearly a decade how they were going to repeal and replace Obamacare. The Congress voted countless times to repeal when they were 'protected' by the fact that President Obama would never sign any repeal into law. Now that we have a President who clearly desires to repeal this monstrosity, the Republicans have forgotten their multi-year campaign promise with which they have raised millions and millions of dollars. I have contempt for the Republicans in Congress, but I have great admiration for the guts that President Trump has had. And please don't tell me that he can be a jerk sometimes, I already know that. Turns out he is a very flawed human being, but as President he has shown some real guts. You gotta admit, it must take guts just to go out in public with that rather unique hairstyle that he favors. Trump was elected one year ago. What a great anniversary!

If I am going to continue my daily hikes and/or walks, I am apparently going to have to get used to being out and about in the darkness. With the seasonal time change in affect since early Sunday morning, sunset in Chicago is currently around 4:30PM. I am going to have to consider getting up early in the morning before breakfast to catch some sunlight. That gets harder and harder as the mercury drops. At sunrise today, 6:32AM, Wednesday, November 8 in Chicago, the temperature was  32°F.  32°F is officially freezing. Had there been precipitation this morning, it could have been snow. That is cold.
