Sunny today and I hope it will be warm enough to melt the bit of snow we got over the last couple of days. It looked bad for a couple of rounds but didn't really amount to much. I am planning what I will plant this year and how I will rearrange the containers. We have some of our DVDs playing. I have heard more than I wanted to of the "news." It isn't new for the most part and it is alternately infuriating and depressing. I can read from multiple sources without hearing the politicians pontificate.
It will be interesting to see how Europe reacts to the changed circumstances. For years (decades?) our leaders, their leaders, and pundits of all stripes have referred to the U.S. as the "indispensable" country. Our government was involved in all the decisions and actions since the end of WWII. Now other countries and blocks have to think seriously about whether the U.S. is truly indispensable. they have to consider whether the promises our government makes can be relied on from one administration to the next. If those premises are no longer true U.S. influence will decline. Good? Bad? Who knows?
