"sunny days"

Now don't get me wrong. I love sunny days as much as the next person. But these are not sunny days.

We're back in that time of year when a weather forecast that says "sun" means the following.

1) Foggy until mid-afternoon.

2) Hazy sunshine at an angle so low it's just glare for the two or three hours until sunset.

3) Air stagnation advisories if it lasts for more than a couple of days.

I'd rather it rained, thanks.

Especially as this sort of weather keeps me in a continuous low-grade sinus headache until a front blows through and clears it all out. Medicating it makes me basically useless so far as concentrating on anything goes.

We've got a forecast for "sun" for well into next week.

Bleargh.

I have an idea

You know how some government officials think that teachers should be paid according to how well their students do?

I think congress should be paid according to how well they run the government. Instant no-pay every time they don't cooperate with each other. Period.

Think what that would do for the debt ceiling!

So

We have a government for another three months.

Yay.

This child of the seventies has just had her non-faith in government renewed once more (when the president is forced to resign just as you're taking civics in high school, it leaves a scar).
