So.  The polls were wrong.  Again (see Great Britain and Brexit).  Anyone who is panicking should be taken advantage of.  Remember Congress?  Remember Bureaucracy? All these things will take time and there are checks and balances in place to prevent the Tudor reign of England from happening again. 
That reminds me, I need to get some Tudor Minwax Stain tonight.

Candy - I am collecting candy to send through Operation Care and Comfort to our troops stationed overseas.  Your children have been amazingly generous so far and I think there is about 40 pounds stored in my classroom.  Due to the timeline of the organization, I can only collect up to Thursday, November 10 and that would be pushing it to inconvenient.  But I will take what I can get when I can get it.  Thank you so much.
