Phew

Dare I say that the Duke game was like the TN special election -- too close for comfort?  OK, the TN election was... you take the win, but...  In the other thing... that was quite the game, and while I didn't expect Duke to win by 15... too many turnovers, too many second-chance shots, too many defensive lapses.  On the other hand, they did have many good defensive plays and they forced UF to the max.  I can live with that, sort of.

Other big news.... the Parma Acme closed yesterday.  On the one hand, they didn't always have stuff, it was a little dumpy, the ring ups were often off... on the other hand, they had more stuff than Marc's, much cheaper than Giant Eagle, and the people were mostly nice.  They did have good deals on stuff occasionally, too... just have to go to Montrose for them.  Wonder what will go in the shopping center now; they have an empty Big Lots and now this, but they have added a Five Below and a PF, so...odd.  

Trump Is Remaking the Electorate. Will It Last?
So far it has not, but... there is time.  I mean, Dems are not winning these guys over, and Trump has shown he can.  Affordability IS a thing, and there are things we can do to promote it -- gas, eggs, chicken, etc.  I would like to see someone crack down on interest rates, too.  I realize repealing Obamacare is a pipe dream, but it could be done if we wanted to, though we do not, it appears.

It was an impressive pile of snow today; I didn't hear the snow plow guy so we might not have gotten two inches, though I suspect we did... seemed like people got hammered out east, which made me very happy not to have to drive out there.  I didn't even leave the house, which is probably fine -- missed the gym but no point going out and more clogging the roads.  My arteries can be purged another day...
