Mileposts.
We like to know where we are. What progress have we made? What are things like now versus sometime past?
Year-ends and new years are points to plant mileposts.
Is our effort in Iraq showing more or less results? Is immigration a bigger or lesser issue? Is the world warmer or cooler than last year? Is the economy growing or facing disaster?
So many mileposts; so little agreement. Ah, that's why there are so many blogs.
Happy New Year.
