7 Before work, same loop as yesterday with a few refinements. I feel #blessed that the rain held off until I got home.  Nothing worse than running in sub 40 degree, windy, rain not even democrats.

7 at lunch, did a fartlek in the middle 5 miles. Times about the same as last week.  Was going to do something a bit more structured but it was cold out and didnt want to keep busting out the watch.  Saw my first snowflakes of the year, a sad day indeed.

Democrats?

I wouldn't know. We don't have them in Utah.

Rob, I think the work comes from deimos, meaning the devil, and crat, which means cry. So their party is literally the cry of the devil.

Nice etymology lesson. Now that I've learned something, I can turn off my brain for the rest of the weekend.

Why are they so common in states like New York?

you have heard how they got democrats in Utah haven't you. One of the objections to Utah becoming a state was the lack of having a two-party system, so Brigham Young had a meeting with the men of the church, and said that everyone on one side of the room would be Democrats and the others on the other side of the room would be Republicans.
