There was a breath-taking sunrise this morning and the leaves have turned color but not yet fallen making a for a beautiful drive into work this morning.
I told a man that his son's scans showed no evidence of his cancer.
We both cried with joy.
It's been a great day and it's only 1100.

Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
