Happy Election News!

Though Mary Poppins took the lead in the popular count, she did not garner enough votes in the electoral college to claim the presidency. So, after following the rules and regulations provided for this sort of scenario, seraphimsigrist has determined that Winnie the Pooh wins the Presidency!

Naturally, MegaHAL had a few words to say about the results...

pooh
My name is ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my nice clean paws!
sing ho! For a pooh!
and in her pale nightgown;
she dives in deep water,
smoke from fire--a metaphor's pure being.

stillness and more of what you get
--cheese... And pickle.

~~~

pooh
Strange it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for the most of all.
eeyore, christopher robin and pooh
and there wasn't a disaster.

--even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
i have veins of iron and dusts of gold.

such was life in general
election must be prophecy.

Misty morning, changing colors of the leaves peeping shyly through the grey. Sunny afternoon with temperatures in the humid low 70s (something over 22 degrees C), smells of woodsmoke and damp leaves with occasional pine needles blown in, trees showing off their coats of many colors. I went for a walk, of course. One of those little paths I never walked on till this year; then wandering a little while in, not a nice neighborhood, but a nice neighborhood, the kind where happy families live in houses you'd swear could house a good specialty museum; then back to regular nice neighborhoods and home. Oh, but this is after I went to the library.

After getting home, spent time reading and looking at Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Horton hears a heil). Aside from the annoyance of an increasingly sore throat, it has been a good and peaceful day.
