Got a quick buzz on the stationary bike this morning but all of those bikes at the gym make a lot of racket when the seats are set as far back as they can be set. Not much to be done about it because my legs need the extension, so I smile apologetically at my fellow exercisers and crank the volume on my IPod.
Liz and Danielle stayed home today. They probably have a virus and as I write this, both should be back in bed asleep.
Fall is the best season in this part of Nevada. The leaves are changing in our neighborhood and they fall like rain in a good breeze. With the thunderstorm last night, it was positively warm and yummy this morning, and if I didn't have class tonight, I would have biked to work this morning. Maybe tomorrow.
The conservative wing's effort to push down the Miers nomination is gathering steam and their poster boy, the President, is looking more and more lame in his efforts to push it through. Don't get me wrong because I think Miers is the best we're going to get under the circumstances (again), but the longer this thing drags out, the better the chances Ms. Miers will step aside for "health reasons" or some other lame excuse. The next nominee will not be so centrist.
One positive outcome from this mess: the President nominated a qualified replacement for Alan Greenspan.
And the news media is saying White House staffers are walking on eggshells because the grand jury investigating the CIA/Plame leak may issues indictments this week. And key members of the senior Bush administration can't sync up their stories with each other, so they may be seeing federal marshalls with subpoenas in hand very soon. And the Vice President may be one of them.
I guess the White House doesn't have enough to do. Isn't the country fighting a couple of wars, recovering from a series of devastating hurricanes, dealing with local and international terrorists, having trust issues with the current administration, etc. etc. etc....
