Obligatory 'ouch'.   That over, let's get a handle on this day.  A bit in the rainy and gray side for much outdoor chores.  I heard a rumor we will have sun next month.  Maybe.

There's something so welcoming about a bowl of traditional Irish porridge. Steel cut oats simmered slow with milk and water, a pinch of salt.  After an hour of simmer and stir, bowl up with a pat of butter and a spoon of maple syrup. 

A punny by Jim Curtis that got me thinking. "In a democracy it’s your vote that counts. In feudalism it’s your count that votes."

In out last election we had a candidate put into the race by overwhelming input of the people voting.  The other candidate was appointed to the race, with zero input from the people.  A small cabal of party royalty placed her in the race.

Now, the irony of that same small cabal screaming about defending democracy as if they invented it.  The shade of Goebbels must be thrilled.
