ELECT A CERTIFIED ADULT AS PRESIDENT

THE LATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Saturday, 8:30 AM.  Almost 40 degrees F at the ferry dock, 36 on the back porch.  Wind W, mostly calm to light with moderate gusts. The sky is cloudy and somewhat overcast, the humidity 84%. The barometer is at 29.72" and rising.  The weather for the week ahead looks uneventful, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around the freezing mark, a little higher during the days and a little lower at night, without any significant precipitation predicted.
   The local Houser's Superior View Farm perennial catalog arrived yesterday, a welcome sign of spring.  John Hauser and his family came to Bayfield from Switzerland in 1908 and began growing perennials.  An apple orchard was soon added, and the Hauser family has been growing and selling  plants and fruit locally and beyond ever since,  over the years adding ancillary family businesses such as homemade preserves and the All Sisters Winery, and now greenhouses for annuals and baskets.  They are a true Bayfield and American success story.

   The President is not attending the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia today.  Why would he disrespect the memory of a distinguished jurist and thirty year member of the court  in this way?  Is he simply a petulant child, who insists on having his own way, just because he can get away with it? It is hard to believe that he would really carry partisan politics this far, but it seems he does.

   We have an historic election coming up.  Please, please let us have at least a minimum of good judgement in the matter, and elect a certified adult to the office.
