Now it's time to work


Welcome to summer! 91 today - the highest so far this year. And temperatures over 90 forecast for the next five days. I am EVER so glad that we have air conditioning. It'll probably be a long hot summer - in weather and politics.

And it seems as if the campaign for the Democratic candidacy for the Presidency is finally decided. I have the "electile dysfunction" from which we are all suffering. But it has been a precedent-breaking situation. It would've been incredible to have had a viable black candidate OR a viable woman candidate. And to have both has been amazing. I wish we could say that these events have done away with all those prejudices, but of course, that isn't going to be. At the very least, though, it's a HUGE step forward, and we can only hope we don't get the proverbial "two steps backward". Congratulations to both Obama and Clinton!

Now let's all get together and elect a Democrat to the Presidency and take back control of the House and the Senate!
