Across the pond

One of the several things which has kept me away from blogging recently is the return of my daughter and her family from a month in the US. They were staying with Alix Berlin, an old friend of mine in Boulder, Colorado, as well as touring in a gigantic camper van They report that everyone they met in Boulder was hot for Obama. Hence the cap they brought back for me.

They also brought me an American ranger denim shirt, lined to withstand the cold desert nights. I like to think it is the kind of thing Sarah Palin wears when she goes out hunting moose.

I shall be resuming my blogging on the US election and commenting on the collapse of American consumer capitalism after I have blogged on one or two local events I have witnessed.
