We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Spied a Pileated Woodpecker flying in the neighborhood earlier.

I’ve never seen one in flight. Beautiful scarlet cap and black body with white on the underside of its wings.

Glorious. Spring is finally here.

Maggie Hassan. The Susan Collins of NH.

That red dot in the chart right above Hassan is Collins.

I love that you are asking this. For years I wanted to be a Yay, and bought many live albums.

I realized that I never reached for them when choosing an option. So now, I am still tempted but always put them back.
