Issue 43: A Hot November

Well today in the nation’s capitol the temperatures topped out in the mid- to upper 70s. The temperature is currently higher than in Pasadena, California. It was a nice days for a walk and so that’s just what I did. Walked and thought and enjoyed the fall foliage under a warm summer sky. Go figure.

Some of the thoughts that have been brewing over the last week made it to this week’s issue.

Enjoy!
