Life is not always fair. In a matter of hours I will go a few blocks to cast my (optical scan, please) ballot at Central Union Church. I will first look across Beretania St. to where Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, or "Toots" as he called her, lived until only yesterday. It is where a likely president lived with her and his grandfather when he went to high school just up Punahou St. Win or lose regardless of party, everybody was hoping that she would hang on at least until the outcome is known.
I note the gracious comments of Senator John McCain and everybody else observing this unfortunate development. Hopefully she will be buried with her husband at the beautiful Punchbowl, the National Cemetery of the Pacific.
