This is November in New England?

It's 60 degrees here and sunny and it's November 5. It's been like this most of the week and is forecast to continue for at least another week. We really need it, as the weather to this point in the year has been abysmal.

But, we also need it to counter the string of bad news lately: nine days of riots in France with no end in sight, protests in Argentina, people freezing in Pakistan, the escalating insurgency in Iraq, the shame of Guantanamo and other secret prisons, Katrina and its aftermath, the limited water and gasoline in Florida after Wilma, the vitriol invoked by the Alito nomination etc., etc.
