Of Updates and Elections

Well, the weather has finally turned here. We still have the occasional warm day, but overall temperatures have become much more seasonal lately. Three weeks ago, the tornado sirens went off at around 9:40 a.m. October 26 was unnaturally late to have a tornado warning but fortunately, to my knowledge, no one was hurt and the warning was cancelled at around 10 a.m. Ironically, after that the weather cleared up and it was a beautiful day. But onto other matters...

Indiana has gone red once again.

I generally stay out of politics as a rule, but last week's election was almost a complete reversal. This was somewhat of a surprise to me, but from what I understand, the Tea Party had a great deal to do with this upset. Honestly, I just can't take them (the Tea Party) seriously. They seem to expect all of the benefits of an organized central government, yet refuse to pay the costs that come with it. Unfortunately, you can't have your cake and eat it too, and I sincerely believe that if they continue down this path, then the Tea Party will just become more and more irrelevant as time goes on. But maybe it's just me.
