Home for one week

We've been home a week and most
of the week we have had glorious
weather. The last two days have
been drippy and overcast, but
not enough water to do any good.

The week has been one of catching
up on cleaning, mail, friends, etc.

The politicking has been on hold
for two months and I shall be
getting back at it this coming
week. Udall is having a tight
race against is Republican
opponent who has been running ads
that contradict many of Udall's
known stance on issues. It is
very frustrating to watch ads
that you know are false. That
happened in the primaries with
Jared's opponent, too, but Jared
won. I'm hoping Udall will, too.

The financial crisis is on all of
our minds, I'm sure. We are
fortunate because our retirement
is not in the stock market but
what little we do have has tanked.
As has everything else. I'm
afraid that the election won't
stop the down-slide, but hopefully,
Obama will have plans in place
so that as soon as he takes office
he and presumably a Democratic
controlled Congress will be able
to put some measures in that will
help. At least they will be
working to end the war and the
financial drain that has.

We are already planning our next
trip. Having spent time on the
eastern seaboard we figure it is
only right that we spend some
time on the western coast, as
well. We are planning a trip
to Corvallis and Portland for
the last week of November. More
about that when our plans are
formulated a bit more.
