Voted GOOD.
International
1. Brexit.
2. Rise of nationalist parties in Europe.
National
1. The Trumpening. Oh, America is still destined to bust up in a very bloody manner (Diversity+Proximity=War, dontcha know), but Trump might put off The Great Sanguinary Sorting a few years. Hopefully until my kids are grown and euro-americans are more awake to the coming GSS.
2. HRC lost.
3. Fracking revolution means America will not lack for energy in the near future.
Familial
1. Work is going well and folk value more the work I do. Three cheers for employment!
2. All immediate family and most extended family healthy.
3. Kids doing well in confirmation.
Of course, there are BAD things in all categories.
International
1. China getting friskier.
2. The entirety of BHO's dumbass foreign policy and its knock-on effects.
National
1. HRC almost won POTUS.
2. Still more immiscible migrants flooding the country.
3. More anarcho-tyranny. Getting tired of seeing BLM and "youths" of duskier hues getting away with violence & property crime while middle class white folks get hammered for infractions against the Bureaucratic State.
Familial
1. Our dog, Misty, is accelerating her downward slide, health-wise. Her fatty tumor surgery was successful, but it has led to bladder control issues. And she is getting what I call "doggie dementia" or my wife calls "dogzheimers." (Black humor: better than no humor at all.) One or the other could be managed, but both--together--are a doozie. I had thought her demise would be something along the lines of not waking up in the AM or a terminal diagnosis leading to the Big Shot. Administering the Big Shot on a pet with non-terminal illnesses is going to be difficult, even if necessary. The end game will play out in 2017, though, so it has lesser impact on 2016.
2. Despite some pay bumps, I am still losing ground vs real inflation.
