Going Away, Coming Back

Good news from New York: Cameloted Caroline gives way to a fresh new pick. Larry Kudlow writes how Treasury nominee Tim Geithner's lack of character and truth telling may sully Obama's administration sooner rather than later. Newt agrees. Sucker's rally ending?
EARLY WEDNESDAY A FRIEND and I fled to the mountains, far from the maddening crowds and chatter of endless inaugural rehashing. The landscape was steely gray, beautifully dreary, freezing cold and wonderfully silent. We went to a state park where we rented a cabin, built a fire, read and relaxed in peace and quiet. There were no computers, no talking heads. I returned late today before the polls closed, so I could vote on the English-only question in Nashville which sadly appears to have been defeated. Political correctness and twisted arguments have ruled the day in blue Nashville.

Hi Jane:

I envy you getting away from all of the madness. You and your friend were so smart to tune out for a day. And guess what? You didn't really miss anything that has not been repeated a thousand times since you got back!

It's amazing how getting into nature keeps you grounded in reality, isn't it? Gets one out of the head, and into the soul.

Thanks P and P, and yes, it's manna for the soul to get out in nature and fresh air in all seasons.

Beautiful photo! Reminds me of childhood days in WVa.

I was aggravated by the outcome of that vote too!
