Progress is a comfortable disease

Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz.

Still too mentally and emotionally drained to undertake a full post-mortem of yesterday's momentous election. Maybe tomorrow. There's a lot to say, but there's a lot I need to process first. So for now, I'll leave you with some words Trey Ellis wrote a few days ago which echoes a small part of what I'm feeling right now:

"I'm a patriot. Since I was a child I have always loved my country. But if Obama really does win, then I think I will feel — perhaps for the first time — that my country loves me back."
