James, this is one of his statements that I was referring to:

"In Johnstown, a woman employed at a call center told Obama that 200 of her co-workers had lost jobs after the work was outsourced to India. She blamed free trade and asked what the Illinois senator would do about it.

``I don't want to make a promise that I can bring back every job that's left Johnstown. It's just not true. Some of those jobs aren't going to come back,'' Obama answered.

``What I can do is try ... to create an environment in which jobs are being created,'' he said, adding that they ``may not be the same jobs that left and don't come back.''

I know you guys regularly produce compost and this is old hat to you. While
it's no miracle, it feels miraculous all the same. Felt like the feeling I
always had when I gathered eggs, like a thrill, even though it was something
I did every day.

Congrats on the compost. I think it's those small miracles that make a
homesteading lifestyle great.
