It's been a few days since I posted anything here. Been very busy winding up loose ends as my administrative job at Emory came to an end on Aug 31.
Besides, there was nothing happening in the news that didn't seem like just more silly polemics and partisan squabbling.
Except Irene, of course. New Yorkers, in their "we're the center of the universe" mentality, were petulant that their mayor's extensive preparations turned out to have been a bit more than necessary when the storm lessened before it hit the city. This news should not obscure the fact that Irene wreaked major damage in other places -- the cost way up in the billions, with scores of lives lost.
More later.
