Above: World Series. Cubs win 7th game. 03 November 2016.

Only base ball game I watched all year... and even then I didn't watch the whole game. Went to bed at extra innings. I don't know how those living on the east coast do it.... ie. stay up to watch late programs.

Above: The Yellow House. Woodside Avenue. Park City, UT. 03 November 2016

2nd of 3 mini walks. Saw and talked to Gordon, Carl, Heinrich, and Rob on this segment. 1st segment around Windrift saw Kreg. Third segment at Pinebrook, Steve and FeeBee. 8000 steps.

Above: Over the Counter Cafe. 33rd South. Salt Lake City, UT. 04 November 2016.
One of my favorite places.
However, I never come here accompanied by TIMDT. She refuses to come. Same thing with others of my favorite restaurants, like "Cowboy Grub" across the street (33rd. South in SLC).

Today, TIMDT and Mwah (sic) had separate errands to run, so I was able to dine at OTC alone. Corn beef hash, over hard, and sourdough.

It is a sad thing when there is dissonance like this between spouses, particularly when I am very willing to join her at her favorite Park City restaurants ie. Riverhorse, Glitertend at Stein Eriksen Lodge, or J and G Grill at the St. Regis Hotel.

Up hill. Always look at ground as I hike up hill. Hard task "out of sight, out of mind." Huff puff.

Three Reasons Why I'm Voting for Trump

POLICY PRESCRIPTIONS. Ruling class leadership (as represented by HRC) has ruined America. Financial mismanagement (excessive debt, overspending, student loans, collapse of public schools, welfare policies leading to family disintegration, weakest recovery since WWII), middle class shrinkage, infrastructure decay, uncontrolled immigration, flaccid millennial generation, endless wars, and slipping personal freedom. America has lost its mojo. More big government solutions from HRC will lead to a continuation of US decline. Trump's program, by contrast, is pro US recovery and growth.

HE FIGHTS. Resisting all advice to the contrary, Lincoln chose boozer U.S. Grant to lead Union forces failed by "proper general" leadership. "I don't care if he is a drunk," said Lincoln. "Send him a case of whiskey. He fights." Trump, an imperfect vessel, flights. In the face of incredible personal attacks, he doubles down to reassert his political positions. How refreshing he is in contrast to the weak, politically unprincipled, progressive fellow traveler, Pub nominees of recent past years. If Trump is Grant, then, certainly Romney is McClellan.

CULTURE Trump conflates American culture with American greatness. His opponent diminishes American greatness in pursuit of a globalist effort tilted away from American workers towards emerging economies. Handmaid to globalism is radical secular government, which destroys culture eg. national identity. Without national identity, America ceases to be great. What replaces American culture? Look to culturally disintegrating France as a bellwether for the damage HRC's radical secularism inflicts on culture and religion.

Another one way compromise with TIMDT. She refused to join me at one of my favorite lunch spots , Morella's on South State Street (pictured). Instead, I was forced to join her at "Cheese," in Fashion Place Mall. Unhappy though I was, I showed a stiff upper lip and ordered steak medallions off the Skinilicious menu.

Finally, with assistance from Stockli, installed my new coocoo clock, souvenir purchase from Passau, Germany while on a Danube river cruise earlier this year. Apt theme for the times, too.

Serendipitous meeting at Riverhorse, last night.

Back of business card of Donald Trump's cousin. Cuz was head of Trump campaign efforts in five western states.

I told him his Cuz could count on the support of a lot of westerner Deplorables, clinging to bibles and guns.

Prince Phillip speaking with my grandfather at Bentwaters Air Force Base in England, early 1950s. Having served in the Royal Navy during WWII, Prince Phillip recognized the US Navy campaign ribbons on my grandfather's chest. He stopped to inquire, and my grandfather replied that he had served in the US Navy during the war and then joined the US Air Force after the war. The Air Force allowed my grandfather to continue to wear the ribbons even though he was no longer in the Navy. Happy Veteran's Day
