The ferries to Madeline Island are still crunching through the ice cubes, following their trail back and forth across the channel all day. But, hope springing eternal in the human breast , crews have put out the Christmas tree markers for the ice road. The next step will be to plow the snow from the surface of the ice to encourage it to freeze to the 8” or better depth necessary for vehicular traffic (I wonder if the truck drivers draw straws for the honor). Yesterday’s 40 degree temperatures did not bode well for that eventuality.
As was predicted, Mitt Romney won all the Florida delegates to the Republican convention. I personally find the negative campaigning very upsetting, as even the smallest personal foibles or slips of the tongue are blown all out of proportion, the old theory, pretty much proven, being that if enough mud is slung at an opponent some will stick. We all ought to take a solemn pledge to pay attention only to substantive issues (lots of luck with that!)
I have been particularly incensed by Gingrich’s repeated calls to Santorum to get out of the race because he was taking conservative votes from Gingrich. Talk about unbridled hubris!
