Since early childhood I have always been drawn to a cool riverbank. A spot to puff the seeds of dandelions and watch them float away on the breeze. Count mayflies alighting on the sparkling water for an instant and contemplate the knowledge that by day's end their journey will be over. A shady rill, a place to dream, to rest, to revitalize.
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes .. Pass a law that says that if the deficit is more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
