Opus 2018-031: The Temperature of America

I am currently in Maryland.  When it brightened up enough for me to see the thermometer out on the back porch the needle was hovering between the 10 and the 20.  I checked my phone and was told it was 16̊ outside.  Time for another cup of coffee.

In a few days I will travel back to Texas and I believe it is forecast to be about 60̊ there.  That is bad enough but after a short stopover I will be flying to California where it is supposed to be 85̊.  What a country.

It amazes me that so many diverse populations and geographies have managed to hang together this long.  How can someone living in beach weather understand a life where you need to worry about your pipes freezing? 

The right managed to make it through eight years of Bill Clinton without imploding.  We endured eight years of Obama without taking to the streets.  My hope is that by the time Trump does his eight years the left will have gotten in touch with their inner-American or if they never had one fulfill there promise.  Canada would love to have them.

  1. LOL - That's not what my Canadian readers tell me. They already have too many of their own, including their president.
