and then I'm off to the suburbs of Seattle to see the many Irish in-laws. (There are a lot of them, and they circulate.)
I'll check in from the Great Northwest at some point soon. I haven't been there in nearly 11 years. Not since my honeymoon.

Welcome back, we actually have some sun right now, although the mercury is below freezing at night.
So bring a sweater.

It's beautiful today! But cold—especially up by Mt. Ranier.

Fred, Fred, Fred. . .
"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."
People were just starting to wake up!

Darrell, too little too late for both the electorate and the candidate.

If you believe he was late, you've been listening to the MSM too much. Real people (meaning me) don't want a two-year election campaign. Matching funds should be denied to any candidate that starts prior to exactly twelve months prior to election day. If we could make a choice when candidates were chosen at National Conventions, we can do it now in a year.

MSNBC Headline: "Wall Street Lower For A Second Day." (5:17 PM EST) The reality?
• DJIA 12270.17 +298.98 +2.50%
You guys wouldn't be trying to "talk down" the US economy, would you?

Hey. Sean did his part. Not sure Fred did his, though . . . I wish he'd stayed on just a bit longer. Aw, nuts.

From what I understand, Louisiana was prepared to give Fred a big win yesterday, but then he pulled out hours before the caucuses. Now the delegates are "uncommitted".
