When I bought the champagne for the party that night - for the inevitable win- I thought: how lucky am I, to have lived in the time of the first AA and first woman Preident?

I was forewarned of the strangeness earlier in the day when I came to this site and it was down. It remained down for many days after the election and when reports rolled in of the crash they were chilling.
