The Pandemic Won Biden The White House. Now It’s Costing Him | Opinion
A year ago, elected Democrats could have foreseen that 2021 would bring some unexpected challenges. But after spending 2020 blaming Donald Trump for the pandemic and running as the party that listened to "the science," few of Biden's supporters, flushed with the thrill of ousting Trump from the White House, were prepared for the current state of affairs.
Though Democrats are still doing their best to blame the country's problems on the previous president, Republicans and the unvaccinated, they are now being reminded of a basic political truth. Incumbent presidents can take credit for the sunshine but must also shoulder the blame for rain.
Hometown 🏡
Hometown 🏡
It seems like a lot of small town businesses in Central New York State and probably other places use the term hometown in their name. I guess living in the suburbs temporarily, with only a somewhat vague idea about where I want to live in the future, I’ve never really had a place to call home, and I certainly don’t have hometown pride.
But it must at some level be nice to have a place to call home, a community to be proud of. A place where you cherish your neighbors and friends, a place still not completely dominated by the anonymous big box stores that dot the freeway interchanges.

December 23, 2021 – Looking Ahead This Week
Cold but clear morning. 🌅
I am going to take camp down in a bit then I think explore Glimmerglass before heading home. I could stay one more night but I think I’d rather head home while the sun is shining as I think the snow may stick around for a while on the roads tomorrow morning. It’s been a nice three nights in the woods and I want to see family on Christmas Eve.

Good Morning – December 23, 2021
Good morning! Happy Festivus 🍖 ! The holiday for the rest of us.
Celebrating it out in the wilds of Madison County. One last day, I plan to head home before the snow later today. 🌨.
Mostly clear, a moon lit morning 16 degrees at the Moscow Hill Camping Area. 🌕 There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 4. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around noontime. 🌡️
I got away for three days, so I can’t complain. ☺ Last night was a bit cold with the wind but it was a pretty moon lit morning, though I think it’s going to snow shortly before sunrise. 🌅 So I’ll probably hang out at camp for a while, maybe go back to bed or maybe a hike.
Eggs 🥚 and sausage for breakfast today. 🍳 I first had a few cups of coffee ☕ and have been listening to the news. 📰 Since having unlimited data, I’ve been using my phone a lot more for streaming radio 📻. It’s kind of nice.
Winters Afternoon
With the clouds and cool temperatures, it certainly felt like winter at times fields of Five Rivers.
