Memorial Day

A sparkling, sunny, and altogether delectable Memorial Day here in Northeast Wisconsin. When days like this come, I sometimes feel that it's our version of Summer 1914 -- the last "normal" times we shall know. If gas prices are above $6.00 a year from now, then the American Way of Life we have known, and which the elder George Bush once famously said is "non-negotiable," will be quite over (see under: James Howard Kunstler).

We shall see.
