Dawning of a new day, this Wednesday after the 2016 Presidential election. I can report that there has been no fire and brimstone, no plague of locusts and no evidence of cats and dogs living together.
I've posted some in the usual suspect social media outlets, and yet have mostly stayed away and working on some other projects. There continues to be quite a bit of weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth, along with a fair amount of handwringing over the results of the election last night.
I am pleased with the results of the election and the local results here in northern Wisconsin. I'm not of the mind to be shouting from the rooftops, setting off fireworks, ringing the churchbells or any other public display of glee. It's only an election, and while in the larger scheme of things there are plenty of underlying issues relating to what transpired last night. Yes, it's only an election, not unlike the recent World Series which ended recently. Two teams competed for the prize and one came away the winner. The loser congratulated the winner and the winners had their 15 minutes of fame, and then we have all moved on.
We would be and can gain further wisdom in following the example of what transpired in the World Series.
