- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I can think of no reason
- Why the Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
- Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
- To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
- Three-score barrels of powder below
- To prove old England's overthrow;
- By God's providence he was catch'd
- With a dark lantern and burning match.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
So... there we are. Historic election. Historic turnout. Historic results. Talking with a co-worker today while on an install (away from the shop! but boy am I going to hurt tomorrow...), he mentioned that he hopes we (as a country) won't have "buyer's remorse". Heh. I think we might, but it's all but inevitable. I'm not sure how anybody can successfully live up to the pedestal we've stuck Mr. Obama on, but by god, I am willing to see him try.
In other news... my car came back. :) All fixed, hopefully for a good while. Just two little metal bumps on the rocker panels, one on each side, but nicely smoothed and painted to match. He took care of the bit of rust building up on the window in the back, too. Anybody needs body work done, I think I can safely recommend these kind folks. (a look in the light tomorrow morning will be more telling, but I think I can safely say my Rosie will not be rusting away anytime in the near future. At least at those points.)
Ok. So this was my second political post. I think I'm done after this one, though. Back to silliness about cars and flowers...
