Highs and Lows

I have to say, I've been a little under the weather. I haven't been eating and I've been a little sluggish, but the biped is making me fresh chicken and rice now and things are getting better. Although the biped running around shouting and dancing on his toes isn't helping. He's all excited about Barack Obama and I have to say so am I. It's fun watching the new White House take shape before my eyes. You know with Rahm Emanuel as chief-of-staff things are going to get done.

As usual, Gail Collins gives great perspective on the election. Here's my favorite part:

Congratulations to Senator Susan Collins on her re-election. The entire moderate Republican caucus in the Senate may now wind up consisting of women from Maine. As Maine goes, so go the Supreme Court nominations.

To celebrate the Democratic sweep, the biped and I took a walk yesterday. The first time I've been out of the house in days. I'm amazed for November that flowers are still blooming on the street.



The red on these trees along Mechanic Street is beautiful.



These mums looked better when I took the picture. Maybe it's time to change them.



This is how I like to hold my ears sometimes.
