Back in Amerika

i hit ground in the u.s. about two hours ago, after more than four months away... i'll be spending the holidays with family and then returning to argentina...

i am curious to see what, if anything, has changed in the mood of the country post mid-term elections... so far, i have only sampled the air here in the los angeles airport while clearing immigration and customs, checking in for my connecting flight, and negotiating security under the new carry-on rules... to all appearances, everything is the same - lines at starbucks and the usual collection of people in american-style dress, the same sweatshirts, jeans, and t's that have become the standard uniform... a mom sitting across from me is holding her cell phone up to the ear of her little boy in the stroller so he can hear grandma say hi... i'll take that as a sign of good things to come...

y'all take care out there...
