Re-election Night--Gobama!

City Never Sleeps by Ryan WallersonFour More Years!- Last night, across the land, people used their individual voices to help shape the path of our country; that collective voice, as it turned out, granted President Obama another four years as Commander-in-Chief. He defeated Mitt Romney by an electoral vote score of 303-206. The actual popular vote was much closer, but the president won the most vital regions, areas and states. Other election results have the Democrats retaining control of the Senate and Republicans holding onto the House of Representatives.

Winter Storm Athena is what they call her, and they say there is much more to come. It's a good old fashioned nor'easter heading up the northeastern seaboard from D.C to Maine. It's still not yet known whether the air will be locally cold enough to permit snow.  Regardless of whether the precipitation is snow rain or something in between, when we all wake up tomorrow it's going to the cold, windy, and all around unpleasant. Dress properly, and be safe.
