november
Suddenly this morning it looked like November outside. The farmer finally harvested his bean field yesterday afternoon, and the rising yellow dust looked like October. All the little cinderellas and spider men with their plastic pumpkin pails looked like October. Most of the leaves had fallen, but they still crunched, so that was like October too. But this morning it was wet and grey. The trees just seemed more barren. Is it colder now? The air just seems more Novemberish.
Election Day is tomorrow. Amid this grey and wet weather we Hoosiers will break our daily routines and head over to the polling place, and in an atmosphere of quiet dignity, we will cast our votes for many offices, this time to include the highest office of the land. My fellow Americans, I hope we know what we're doing. It's a grey, wet day in the world. At the fulcrum of this election, with everyone from the appeasers in socialist Europe to the haters in Islamist Iran to the brutal demagod in North Korea to the cave-dwelling thugs of Al Qaeda all watching us, somehow the air just seems a bit more Novemberish. May God help us stand together against evil. May God bless America.
