I am home, increasing ill with some sort of cold or flu virus, frustrated with the health care mess, intransigent Blue Dog Democrats, and the media uproar over Gatesgate. I have made calls and sent emails and now I am just sitting here in a bad mood, feeling angry and ill. To deal with it I am just going to post a bunch of photos, mostly old stuff. I probably won't add much commentary. I think it will make me feel a little better to connect with my community here. That would be you.
