Derailleur cables and 57 states

NOT MUCH going on here. I replaced the derailleur cable on my bike. Felt pretty good about it. Wasn't sure it would actually work. On-the-job training for sure. Speaking of inexperience, I am increasingly convinced the next U.S. president will be a man who thinks the republic includes 57 states.
As it appears we will have two Democrats running against each other, I, at this point, suspect I will be rooting for the real Democrat. Not because I think he will do a good job; just the opposite. But, 1) I don't live there so he can't raise my taxes; 2) I have already done my stint in the service so he can't destroy the military while I am in it; 3) much of the American public actually deserves him; and 4) I am fond of that old Chinese curse of "may you live in interesting times." Should be entertaining.
