When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

A Winning Cake The disaster (someone, please, come up with a decent name for it...) continues to be brought back to mind by smells. It rained all day today. Normally, rain is welcome here after a week of sunshine, because it washes the haze out of the sky and makes the air feel light and clean. Today, it just washed the smoke and the smells of burned wet paper and tires down to nose level, where they're as strong as ever.
