Election Day is almost upon us. I don't mean to make light of it, at least not too much, but I did have to laugh when my west coast brother sent me the 'day' for today. It happens that today is "National Waiting for the Barbarians Day." I think that some people are so tense about this election that they actually do envision an invasion of barbarian hordes. Can you imagine what it was like in the Dark Ages when barbarian hordes were actually rampaging around Europe, and, especially if you were a serf, tied to the land, you might nor have had any forewarning of doom on horse back coming your way? Compared to that, life in these United States is not so bad. So tomorrow go vote, if you haven't already, and on your way home or while you're waiting for results (which I fervently hope are clear-cut and decisive) take a deep breath, or several, and count your blessings.
