With the much anticipated USA presidential election taking place yesterday, I stayed up to the wee small hours to watch the results come in. Over the past few months listening to both prime candidates, it would not be too difficult to believe that the world would end regardless of the winner. The doom and gloom coming from both sides certainly outpaced any talk on policy or economic direction.
With a
little hesitation, I got up this morning peaked out and found that the world
was intact, or at least Pleasantville was. Then the sun came up and brought
temperatures of about 21°C (70°F).
Throughout
the day, I listened into some media outlets, where those on the losing side were
still proclaiming global devastation, economic collapse and much more. In my
humble opinion, if those things are to happen, then it will not be someone in
Washington DC who is the cause of it, I reckon it will be one of three
dictators sitting in other capitals or perhaps all of them together.
Having had
enough of the election, I went out this afternoon for a lovely beach wander in extremely
warm temperatures. The good news from that is, regardless of all the recent political
rhetoric and dire predictions, I can report that the tide came in as expected
and can forecast with much confidence its schedule going forward will not
be interrupted.
