Saturday

  Good morning. It's 74 degrees, humid, and looking like rain this a.m. here in Upstate NY. The bugs are out in bunches, this is repellant time. The news continues to be dominated by the Zimmerman verdict, now with Obama's recent comments adding to the outcry. Stand your ground is misery. Detroit is bankrupt, no secret there. The people that lose out are the retirees on city pensions and such or those about to enter retirement. Crummy place to be when you are too old to work and there's much less than you expected or were promised and had earned showing up at the table. Think of it as simply another area where the shrinking middle class loses out. I will be resting today, I'm hoping the rain will cool things down and I can take a long nap. The long period of deep heat and humidity has sapped our strength.
