Reflecting on the elections...

Last night, we watched the final throws of the 2012 election and remained glued to our TV screen through Romney's concession and Obama's acceptance speeches, and were gratified to see that the least worst candidate won.

Frankly, I was glad that Romney didn't accomplished what he was convinced he would. First, I thought he wasn't as good as Obama and second, I couldn't believe that Utah had put 75% of its vote behind the Mormon candidate, which makes me think that the Mormon Church must have mandated that all of its flock to vote for their now famous member, and also suggests that it must also have funneled millions of dollars through the new, anonymous, 501c election financing rule, to make sure that their obscure and absurd belief would go “national.” 

This said, today began with a run through the streets of that small town of 5,600, crossing the fable Route 66, and after another skimpy breakfast we were off on a quick and easy six hour drive between Tucumcari, New Mexico and Oklahoma City, with a quick coffee stop in Amarillo, Texas.

Nothing really scenic except for maybe a thousand or so windmill in that flat expense of terrain and ninety-percent of vehicles on I-40 being trucks. Not many animals in sight except for some cattle and a large, stinking and dusty feed lot just before Amarillo in Texas.
