Today is Veterans Day. This is my father in front of a Higgins boat at the D-Day Museum in New Orleans.  God bless America and our troops, then and now. 

How many people can say they had a bat in the house on Halloween? I can. 

It's Election Day and yesterday Starbucks announced that they would be giving out free coffee to anyone who voted. That would be on the honor system, all you had to do was tell your elite barista you voted.

Well, that's against the law. You can't reward people for voting. So today, free coffee for everyone. Dolts. Don't corporations check with their lawyers first? Glad I sold that stock. Wait, I never bought it, so doubly glad.

As it turns out, I guess people were rewarded for voting. In record number. Historic. A first. 

Finally, we have a Hawaiian president.

Never thought I would live long enough to see it.
