It feels odd to me now that the election and the new president is sworn in. For a long time I seemed sure it would never be over. I suspect there is going to be a lot of political excitement over Bush and Cheney and whether they get prosecuted for war crimes.
Myself? I think they oughta stand equal before the law. If they're found guilty they should punish them, and if they're found innocent they should be exonerated and get it over with. Too bad they can't legally be water-boarded any more. They should be done to as they did. If they're not held responsible it will set too great a precedent for those Presidents who follow. As if I would know. '-)
I'm really pleased the weather is warmer today. Sure I know it's still the middle of winter, and that more cold fronts are going to bubble down from the North, and soon from the latest weather reports, but a little respite from that polar weather is good for the soul.
For the first time in about a week I stayed up and watched the late shows. I flip around and watch a little of all of them. I don't care much for the one on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel. I don't think he's all that funny, but apparently a good number of people do. I usually watch Letterman if his show is not a rerun. If it is I watch whatever ain't.
It's been too cold to stay up when it's below freezing inside my house. I have been going to bed early to get in my warm bed. I really would like to have a high quality down comforter that would be the only cover I need for this latitude. I think my family had feather beds when I was a toddler, but after they switched to the inner spring type of bed I never really stayed warm all night again.
I have a "feather" comforter, i think. By that I mean that it's not stuffed with the eiderdown material, but other, more external feathers. It sure don't keep me warm, so I have to use other covers to take up the slack. I shopped for such a down comforter on the internet, and as you might expect there are lots of companies that make down and feather comforters.
They're not cheap. Not the eider down ones. There is one company out in the Northwestern US that seems to be the most popular with the online retail sites. They also offer a down bedcover that goes on top of a regular mattress but designed to be under the sleeper with their down comforter on top. Sounds wonderful to me. They're wanting upward of $500 for their asking price. I might be able to scrape it up over ti-me, but I wouldn't need something this heavy-duty but for maybe three months a year. But, when I win the PowerBall lottery, I'm gonna....
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
