Autumn Splendor in an Ugly Land

Autumn in Pennsylvania is a most beautiful time of cool foggy mornings and colorful foliage.  The beauty is unsurpassed by any other season however this year is different.  It is not the season, it is not the colors, but it is the people engaged in the messy business of selecting a president.  Never in my 61 years have I seen such a campaign with so much hate, propaganda, and lies on display.  This election season has brought out the worst in so many people who feel the need to share an endless stream of the above on social media.

My hope is that as the leaves fall from the trees and November's somber grays smothers the landscape; with this most divisive election in our review mirror, our nation can experience healing regardless of the candidate selected.
