LET US BE GRATEFUL TO
PEOPLE WHO MAKE US HAPPY;
THEY ARE THE CHARMING
GARDENERS WHO MAKE OUR
SOULS BLOSSOM.

Of Note: There are those who make us happy and those who don't. Recent Gallup polls have put Congress at an 11% approval rating. 11% is the lowest score since Gallup started the "confidence in institutions" rating in 1973. It is no wonder our Congressmen and women are worried about going back to Washington next year. Those in Congress should take note that the divisiveness that currently defines their activity is grating on its constituents. It is time for a real leader to emerge who understands that rancorous political divisiveness has no place in an enlightened civil society. During the election, Americans thought President Obama might be that leader, but apparently they do not think so now. The institution of the Presidency has seen its ratings dropped from 51% to 36% in the last year. At the top of Gallup's list is the military at 76% followed by small business at 66%. The police come in at 59%, religious institutions at 48% followed closely by the medical system at 40%. That is a 65% spread between the military and Congress. Oh my.
Today's Weather Report: Morning have been cool again in the high 40's Fahrenheit. The feel of fall is in the air. Summers go by so quickly when we only have three months of it. This summer will be defined by all the painting that has taken place. Every time I turn around another painting project presents itself. White primer. Lots of white primer. It's the paint of the summer. The primer paint company has probably had to add a second shift for the Schirott's allotment.
