9. Some kind of cognizant defficiency.

I just got off the phone with someone who owns a ranch I may be buying. Having spoken only once before, I didn't know his political leaning. This time he made it clear that the way toward recovery of real estate values was by replacing the president.

This also happened earlier in the week with another owner.

I find this most distressing. The real estate devaluation happened before Obama was in office. I made that clear to one owner.

We are at war. And our enemy is deranged and delusional. I hate to even say these things. But for the first time, I feel it's worse than I ever thought. Mostly because one of the people I talked to is an educated person.

11. My son is named after him

At first he was to be named Douglass, but we were persuaded to drop the second 's' . Still, he is named after an American hero.
