We have satellite TV now. The dish is in our backyard, pointed at a 45-degree angle to the southwest. We get loads of channels. On Election Night, Chris was able to scroll through all the news channels to keep up with everything. I have more channels to choose from on the TV I watch while I am on the treadmill. (I walked Monday through Friday this week.) All is well so far.
Election Night was exciting. It was stirring to watch the crowd gathered in Grant Park in Chicago. Barack Obama waged a superlative campaign. Like a lot of Americans, I am trying to keep my expectations in check. I hope Obama is able to do something about the Iraq war and about the economy. But we all need some patience.
In our personal Nelson household economy, we are still OK, but I worry that McClatchy will need to cut more jobs after the first of the year. I wonder how long we'll be able to publish a daily newspaper.
