Is the Sky Falling?

I really must appologize for my recent silence.  You’ll forgive me, won’t you?  I’ve been awfully busy building my tin foil hat and trying to decide if the sky is, in fact, falling.  I can’t actually tell how much of a panic I should be in these days… there is that pesky little “crisis of leadership” in Washington, a woman who could charitably be described as under-qualified running as the VP to a major party, and of course there are still questions about elections and all the major change it could indiciate.  This is too much for one girl to handle.
