Warmer

Relatively speaking, for our area, today qualifies as "warm." Temperatures headed into the low-mid 80s F, blue sky, no wind. Sweaty but livable bicycle weather. Paving work proceeds on US 2, we shall _hope_ they get that done before I want my road again.

Cynicism warning

People seem to think that governments exist for the benefit of those governed. There is little historical evidence to support this belief. Any apparent benefit to those governed can usually be traced to a congruence of goals between the plebeians and the patricians.
