It has been rainy, 58-60 the last 2 nights and at or just below 70 in the PM-it is 69 now, overcast and looks like it may rain again-I enjoy weather like this-

Or the latest of his mistresses
To grant Bill a public review
The mudslinging continues on
Every subject-take your pick-
I just wish the FBI and Comey
Would make one of them stick...
