Today is one of the first genuinely cool, overcast autumn days we’ve had in Minneapolis. And it reminds me that winter isn’t far behind. For someone with a disability, getting around in the winter can be a real PITA. Between the snow and the putting on and taking off jackets and the temporary loss of sensation in my extremities, it sometimes is easier to just stay home. Fortunately, I live in a downtown that is interconnected by a series of elevated walkways called skyways. I can get to most places downtown without ever stepping outside, including shops, restaurants, a movie theater, etc. Now if only my workplace was located downtown. But I’d trade it all for a condo overlooking the sea in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
In a recent address to the Australian Parliament, Bush said:
We see a China that is stable and prosperous, a nation that respects the peace of its neighbors and works to secure the freedom of its own people.
Oh, man, that’s funny.
