Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Summer Day

Safety first... think of the children.

It was hot and humid here in ol' Connecticut.  So naturally I spent the day mowing the lawn and gutting the downstairs half-bath.  Because really what could be better on a hot day than dealing with the smell of sewer gasses and the disgustingness of the wax ring that seals the toilet to the sewer pipe.

But at the end of the day, tired and drenched in sweat, the boys playing soccer (nicely, amazingly) having come home from a good day of scout camp.  The smell of mown grass and a cold beer in hand... not a bad day.
