Folks,
Dux:

I am not about to claim much knowledge of the politics of the UK or anything else for that matter, however, according to what I've seen on TV, for all the efforts of Mr. Blair and Mr. Brown combined it seems the Labor Party just received a right drubbing while the Conservatives picked up seats. The worst showing (even in the off year elections) for that party in many years I'd say.

It looks like everyone on both sides of the big wet spot is about ready for a change.... Considering the likely candidate to be elected over here will either be a woman or a black man, I'd say we are in for an even greater change than you lot.;)

It is an absolutely beautiful day here in Dixie. We have clear skies, a warm breeze and a temp. of 28C./82F. The perfect day for some serious hammock testing.
