PEOTUS So Far.... the Sun Keeps Coming Up.

Visitors to this blog over the past year will know that I was no great fan of any of the presidential candidates put forward in 2016. Indeed, I was among the many Americans who was left shaking their heads at a system that produced a couple of duds. At the end of the day, I reluctantly cast my lot with Clinton because I had a clearer sense of what kind of dud she'd actually be. As for Trump, my risk averse side was leery of electing an unpredictable dud.

 In the days and weeks since November 8th's political earthquake, I have paid very close attention to nearly everything Trump and his staff have said, parsing every letter for signs of what is to come. Below are my two bits about Trump's transition, his major cabinet picks, and the early signs of what lies ahead.

 I'm still worried,.... quite worried actually. Yet, perhaps because my expectations are so low or that in my desperate search for silver-linings I am cherry picking, I see signs that the sun will continue to come up every morning.
