Day 1471: State of the Union

Steve spent much of the afternoon out on the thruway at a multi vehicle accident caused by heavy snow and limited visibility.  One semi drove into the back of another and the cab was crushed pinning the driver inside.  It's a miracle he wasn't killed. It took rescuers ninety minutes to extract him.  Lots of cars then crashed into them and each other because of the icy roads.  What a mess.

At daybreak I awoke with my head full of ideas to put on paper so I couldn't go back to sleep.  I worked the whole day again and completed all of the substance.  Tomorrow, the plan is to review my notes again and see if there is anything I neglected to include, write two more concluding paragraphs and polish the language.  I'll let it sit and percolate for a bit on Thursday because I always need time to reconsider my choices.

We listened to the President's last State of the Union address.  I cheered throughout, but I'm a rabid democrat and I love Obama.  Apparently, the Republicans were a bit insulted.  They applauded only once, when the President mentioned the strength of our military forces.  Their reaction was to be expected since they have opposed him on every single point from day one.  I will miss him.
