It is 76 and partly cloudy, but there is a cool-and-gloomy front due sometime tomorrow-when the cool and clouds arrive, it is my intention to gather up some fruit, veggies, a book and water, head into the deep woods and spend a lot of time in my favorite secret places in silence. I will have a sidearm and my cell phone with me, but I don’t expect to use either one...

All the strident disputation
Among the rabid Obama crowd
Has very little of substance-
It is pretty much just loud

They seem to have developed
A kind of convince-me cult-
They see some made-up numbers
And don’t ask for a result

Don’t look now, koolaid drinkers
But you’re being scammed again-
Carter tried the “magic wand”, too
And it didn’t help you back then

An ounce of Jack Black to sip after dinner tonight would be a rare treat I haven’t had in several years-so that’s what it is...
