Wintry weather

R. recently commented on forecast wintry mix. We certainly had it this morning, not that the precipitation fazed our dog L. when I took him out this morning. He is more willingly wearing his larger jacket, which is an improvement given that he was initially trotting away at the sight of it, as a kind of gentle protest. The ground had plenty of icy wet slush. Drivers seemed cautious, perhaps with it being one of the first such mornings of the season.

American election

Some comment following the US election seems warranted. Since the results became clear, I felt some loss of hope. We have not been much following the news, and I am putting this entry mostly under cuts for those who would similarly like to skip politics for a while.

( I am unhappy with the US Republicans and UK Conservatives. )

( I am disappointed by many voters and I worry about the coming administration. )

( It is good that we settled in Scotland instead. )
