It finally looks like Thanksgiving so I'm posting one of my favorite poems. 

There's no need to comment.  Just enjoy the verse.

 

November

by Thomas Hood

No sun--no moon!
No morn--no noon!
No dawn--no dusk--no proper time of day--
No sky--no earthly view--
No distance looking blue--

No road--no street--
No "t'other side the way"--
No end to any Row--
No indications where the Crescents go--

No top to any steeple--
No recognitions of familiar people--
No courtesies for showing 'em--
No knowing 'em!

No mail--no post--
No news from any foreign coast--
No park--no ring--no afternoon gentility--
No company--no nobility--

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member--
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

No wonder I've had 3 colds in 4 1/2 months.

Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, whose nickname is "Dr. Germ," spoke to ABC News recently, about the germiest professions in America:

1. Teacher/day-care worker
2. Cashier, bank employee
3. Tech support/computer repair
4. Doctor or nurse
5. Lab scientist
6. Police officer
7. Animal control officer
8. Janitor or plumber
9. Sanitation worker (AKA garbage man/woman)
10. Meat packer

Do you have a germy profession that you'd add to the list?

History was made tonight!

Obama has been elected president of the United States.  It was announced at 8:01 PST.  One minute after the West Coast polls closed.

The news media is talking about a mandate.

Everyone is excited.  Even the commentators on Fox News.  Even John McCain, who gave a very decent, concession speech.  In fact, he seemed almost happy that it's over.

I can't help but feel that the ugly, dark times of the last eight years are over.  I feel an old emotion.  One that I haven't felt in a long time.  HOPE.
