Fimbulwinter now

Air temperature -8 F, near calm, clear sky and half moon for the newspaper walk. Kicked a chunk of ice in the sidewalk and it rang like metal. Carbon dioxide has not yet condensed out of the air, so we're still good.

Further politics

You also have to persuade independents in order to win. Beware of dogma. In Maine, independent ("Unenrolled") voters outnumber the party ass-kissers of either Republican or Democratic ranks.
