Third Failure, or First Success?

As the USA approaches the upcoming presidential election, we wonder if this will be the third failure (putting a Republican in office for the third time in a row), or the first success in eight years. 

Actually, more importantly, will I remember to update this blog? Being the third blog I have started (the first two have...somehow dissolved into this thing called the 'web'), it would be good (and self-assuring) if it becomes relatively sustainable. 

On to a slightly off-topic, a professor I have gave us some insight into pythons and mailboxes (and the woes of aging):

Professor: As we (the elderly) get older, our hearing worsens. I was listening to the radio news the other day, and the host was talking about terrorism that was going on somewhere. All I heard was "There have been increased incidences of terrorists placing pythons in residential mailboxes." I could not, for the life of me, figure out why terrorists would be stuffing mailboxes with pythons. Or how. It's quite difficult to stuff a python into a mailbox. Even a commercial one. Well, what I found out was that these pythons were actually pipe bombs.

In the spirit of 9 days after Chinese Full Moon Festival, here's a toast!
